Quantum theory of Mitt Romney

In summary: No, there is a damping effect caused by his inability to come across as an actual human, and this prevents excitation.

Quantum theory of Mitt Romney.
From the article,
Entanglement. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a proton, neutron or Mormon: the act of observing cannot be separated from the outcome of the observation. By asking Mitt Romney how he feels about an issue, you unavoidably affect how he feels about it. More precisely, Mitt Romney will feel every possible way about an issue until the moment he is asked about it, at which point the many feelings decohere into the single answer most likely to please the asker.​
That's not entanglement! That's just a bad mishmash of the Romney wavefunction collapse interpretation and the multiple Romneys interpretation of the Romney candidacy. Entanglement would involve showing that the Etch-a-sketch Politics of Romney (EPR) paradox leads to Romney giving the single answer most likely to please to asker before Romney knows the asker's political leanings.

Well, the statement "the act of observing cannot be separated from the outcome of the observation" seems to be a statement about contextuality, which is a key feature of entanglement. It would be like Romney choosing his position based on what the questioner asked Newt Gingrich.

so if you measure his spin on a particular issue does it obliterate his previous spin of a different issue?

can local hidden voters account for this?

I think you are confusing hidden voters with Romney's hidden variables. Between measurements (news conferences) does his POSITION on an issue even exist or is it probabilistic only?

PS I find this whole thread depressing since I am probably going to hold my nose and vote for this turd in November.

Speaking of hidden voters, is it possible to find a Romney voter in an excited state?

Thanks, Lugita, I needed a good laugh today!

1. What is the Quantum theory of Mitt Romney?

The Quantum theory of Mitt Romney is a theoretical framework that attempts to explain the behavior and decisions of former U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney through the lens of quantum mechanics. It suggests that his actions and statements can be understood as a superposition of different possibilities, influenced by factors such as his personal beliefs, political strategy, and external circumstances.

2. How does quantum theory apply to Mitt Romney?

Quantum theory can be applied to any system that exhibits behavior that is unpredictable or uncertain. In the case of Mitt Romney, his political decisions and statements often seem to contradict each other or change unexpectedly, which can be seen as a form of quantum uncertainty. By applying quantum theory, we can attempt to understand the underlying motivations and factors that contribute to his behavior.

3. Is the Quantum theory of Mitt Romney a proven concept?

No, the Quantum theory of Mitt Romney is a speculative theory and has not been scientifically proven. It is simply a way of interpreting and understanding his actions and statements from a different perspective.

4. Can the Quantum theory of Mitt Romney be applied to other politicians or public figures?

Yes, the Quantum theory of Mitt Romney is a concept that can be applied to any individual or group whose behavior and decisions exhibit aspects of quantum uncertainty. However, it should be noted that this theory is not a scientific theory and should not be taken as a definitive explanation of any individual's actions.

5. What are the criticisms of the Quantum theory of Mitt Romney?

One major criticism of the Quantum theory of Mitt Romney is that it relies on subjective interpretations and assumptions about his motivations and thought processes. It also does not take into account other factors such as societal influences or the influence of other individuals on his decisions. Additionally, as it is not a scientifically proven theory, some may argue that it is not a valid way of understanding his behavior.
