Quantum theory states that there is an absolute minimum, indivisible unit (or "quantum") of intelligence, and that this amount of intelligence is what science fiction authors should aim for when naming things "quantum". Science currently places "quantum boomerangs" and "quantum-scout cookies" as the smallest confirmed names in terms of intelligence, but there is not yet a general consensus into which is actually stupider.

how many bytes to get to the center of a quantum-scout cookie?

The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas

story idea: the Ones Who Walk Away From Omelettes

a perfect society, except for one thing: omelettes are shunned as a breakfast food

sometimes people make delicious-looking omelettes and simply throw them away

they like omelettes and feel bad about wasting food, but they know that their perfect society could not exist without foregoing this one delicious dish

except, gently caress . . . the people who choose to leave this society would not be walking away from omelettes, they would be walking away from walking away from omelettes, so the story would actually be "The Ones Who Walk Towards Omelettes" and that just doesn't work as well

um, throw "quantum" in the title somewhere, there's a part for Scarlett Johansson, I'm selling this fucker anyway

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

So, if particles and waves are just different ways of interpret the behaviors of individual quanta, why is it that they never do "The Particle" at sporting events? It just doesn't add up for me.

it means tht the cat is both alive dandead and the same time. becuase quantim is everything right so im that, and the cat. its just random you know. anyway the cat is in the box but the poison isnt out yet right, or it could be again, becuase quantim is everything right so im that, and the cat and the poison. carrying on, the box itself is looked on so the quanta know that you looked so it remembers it colors and shape for your eyes again becuase quantim is everything right so im that, and the cat and the poison and the box. furthermore, the room in which the experiment is taking place is too large for quantum effects to be noticable. but in the box the cat and the poison are together and we cant know because the box is full of functioning waves that collide and create the particles inside until you look.

quantum means you can have one of a thing, or none of a thing, but not part of a thing

although you can have, say, a 69% chance of having one of a thing and a 31% chance of having none of a thing, that's allowed, that's not the same as having 69% of a thing which is not allowed

what I am saying larry is that your halfassed attitude towards running this flea circus is not permitted by quantum theory. either you're gonna be fully assed and start leading the fleas through hoops of fire, or you're gonna give me the cigarette lighter and step out of the way
