The third match gives me a 404 error.

Was the thread deleted, or have I forgotten how to search the forum?

That still doesn't explain why the "Quantum Cheshire Cat" thread disappeared.

Wait a minute...

Ah! Hahahahaha!

You guys are too funny.

Actually the thread is there, just visible only to some.

Kinda Schroedingery.
 

1. What is "Search Engine Broken: Quantum Cheshire Cat"?

"Search Engine Broken: Quantum Cheshire Cat" is a theoretical concept proposed by quantum physicist Yakir Aharonov and his colleagues, which suggests that a particle can be separated from its properties, similar to how the Cheshire Cat's smile can be separated from its body in Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland". In this context, a search engine can retrieve information from a website without actually accessing the website itself.

2. How does the Quantum Cheshire Cat concept relate to search engines?

The Quantum Cheshire Cat concept proposes that a particle's properties can exist separately from the particle itself. In the same way, a search engine can retrieve information from a website without accessing the website itself, by retrieving the properties (information) of the website without actually visiting it. This could potentially lead to faster and more efficient search results.

3. Is the Quantum Cheshire Cat concept proven or just a theory?

The Quantum Cheshire Cat concept is a theoretical concept in the field of quantum mechanics. While it has not been proven, the idea has been explored and supported by mathematical models and thought experiments. Further research and experimentation is needed to fully understand and potentially prove this concept.

4. How could the Quantum Cheshire Cat concept impact the future of search engines?

If the Quantum Cheshire Cat concept is proven to be true, it could potentially revolutionize the way search engines work. This could lead to faster and more efficient search results, as well as new possibilities for data retrieval and analysis. It could also have implications for other fields, such as data storage and communication.

5. Are there any potential drawbacks to the implementation of the Quantum Cheshire Cat concept in search engines?

There are currently no known drawbacks to the implementation of the Quantum Cheshire Cat concept in search engines. However, further research and experimentation is needed to fully understand the implications and potential limitations of this concept. Additionally, the implementation of this concept may require significant advancements in technology and computing power.
