I like how you phrase that in a question like it isn't obvious... I'm not trying to be rude but you clearly see it's a typo, you clearly know what I'm talking about... So is it really that worth it to nit pick an error that was autocorrect anyways? It would have been better to just simply...

Heisenberg uncertainty principle

The more accurately you know a particles position the less accurately you know it's speed. And the more accurately you know a particles speed, the less accurately you know it's position.

This relates to Heisenbergs uncertainty principle. What it comes down to is observation. In order to observe something, you have to interact with it, and that interaction thus changes it's "natural state". Some changes are noticable, most are not, but either way that object technically isn't...

You are over thinking it. Break it down flip by flip. Flip 1: 50% Flip 2: 50% Flip... 1000: 50% Now what's the average of all the flips... 50%...

I was actually talking about this with a friend yesterday. We were discussing about 0^0 and how it "probably" be 1. Even the maths implies that it would eventually be 1, but without an infinite number of equations it fails. For instance 0^google would still be 0, because Google is still a...

Conservation of momentum :) One of my favorite subjects

It is. Each individual flip is a 50% chance to land either way, that means it's a 50/50% chance no matter how many flips you do.

The probability that you flip a coin 1000 times and 600 times is tail? 50%... That's the same question just reworded as "if I flip a coin 10 times and 9 times it's heads, what's the odds it will land tails on the 10th flip?" , Same answer, 50%.

Lify, remember that size, mass, and density are 3 different things. If you have a 1'x'1' cube of styrofoam vs a 1'x1' cube of lead, the size is the same, but the mass and density are much more for the lead. Understanding that will answer your question indefinitely

You have to decide your reference frame. Are you messuring independent body parts or the system as a whole. Individually, his body parts can change momentum, gain/loose KE, velocity ect... But the momentum by the man (the total system) will be the same before and after assuming as you said no...

I should have also stated that my background is in classical physics. Thanks you!

Hello everyone, hope to be accepted in the community. Sorry I am not good with "social skills" so I don't really know what to say , but have a good day! If anyone has any questions/concerns feel free to contact me.
