AI Thread Summary

The discussion on the superposition of wave functions in the US touches on the complexity of understanding this quantum concept. Participants humorously reference unrelated topics, such as units of pressure and energy, indicating a light-hearted tone. The superposition principle suggests that multiple wave functions can coexist simultaneously, leading to various possible states. The conversation reflects a blend of scientific inquiry and playful banter, highlighting the challenges of grasping advanced physics concepts. Ultimately, the superposition of wave functions remains a fundamental yet intricate aspect of quantum mechanics.

Ha ha

19. Basic unit of pressure for farmers - 1 trac torr
20. Female energy - 1 Julia
21. Turtle drag in water - 1 tur Poise

OK the last one is not too good.

Thread 'Predictions for the Nobel Prize in Physics 2025'

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
