Ooh. I just did that! It was Webb and I could not get on NASA. The video maker is knowledgeable.

La-Ra-YAG ?

La-Ra-YAG ?

yeah, I would be skeptical too

Cat-egory 3 hurricane.

Maybe they are fascist cats, that have turned into a Southern Hemisphere phenomenon.

Time for some stellar astronomy jokes:

and sometimes because its fun to be a little mean spirited ...

Why orthodox quantum mechanists believe in flat Earth

When we measure any small patch of Earth, experiments show that each patch is flat (up to local mountains and valleys, which are not important here). Therefore experiments are consistent with flat Earth. Sure, if we try to collect all patches into a single object we get a round Earth, but this is wrong because different patches are complementary. There is no single measurement of all patches at once, so object consisting of all patches at once is a counter-factual. Those who claim that Earth is round assume counterfactual definiteness (CFD), or realism (belief that there is measurement-independent reality). But CFD/realism is wrong, which saves flatness of Earth.

There are a couple of things I need clarification on.

When you say 'complimentary' do you mean in a QM way or normal way?

Also why does measuring at the same time make a difference?

Say I make a measurement on a length of rod but my ruler is only part the length of the rod would it matter if I collated my measurements?

What if I was a little slow and measured part way and made a mark then went home and told my wife about my dilemma?
She is smarter than me explained the solution so I went back the next day and completed the measurement.
Two measurements separated in time but successfully completed.
Throw in an orientation in space for good measure, would this not be valid?

I know this is the joke section but I think we can agree you started it.

The more I read about Bell's theorem on PF, the more am I convinced that AC/DC (sic!) meant something completely different with their song Hell's Bells than I previously thought!

QM way is the normal way.

Otherwise it doesn't matter, but it matters if the obvious fact that Earth is flat depends on it.

Bell was smart too (I'm not sure about his wife), and yet he concluded that QM is non-local. Being smart is not always an advantage.

I know this is the joke section but I think we can agree you started it.

And now I continue it.

Speaking of QM... USB connectors can also be in superposition:

Did Schrödinger ever think about the consequences?

Did you take the non-locality into account? When you measure length here, it instantaneously affects the measurements in Australia. And when you compare results you see that your measurements are incompatible with a flat Earth. It has to have a Bell shape.

 

[Demystifier]

It has to have a Bell shape.

Did you mean Ball shape?

 

[martinbn]

Did you mean Ball shape?

Who is Ball?

 

[Ibix]

Who is Ball?

He says he invented the sphere. Ironically, his claims turned out to be hollow.

 

[Demystifier]

Who is Ball?

Mother Earth.

 

[mfb]

Who is Ball?

Developer of the screw theory.
I'm not joking
