Superficial? Now that is funny. peacegirl, you are the one presenting Lessans. The superficiality is all yours.

LOL; we are studying the most fundamental aspects of the nature of the Universe with QM, exploring other planets with Rovers, exploring the outer solar system with probes, learning about other galaxies with the Hubble, learning about the microscopic world with increasingly sensitive optical technologies, etc. If that's ignorance, I'll take it over facial recognition in dogs.

Again, you're failing to see that what we are viewing in the mirror is a "mirror image" of the actual object that is in the room. Do you think the light would bring us the image if the object was no longer in the room? That's what science is actually stating when they say an event doesn't have to be present for the light to bring us the image, as if to say that light alone is the cause, not a condition, of sight.

The experiment has absolutely nothing to do with the presence of any other object in the room or looking in the mirror at all. Reread the description of the experiment, go and conduct it yourself, then come back and tell us what happened.

Report: Peacegirl Posts Exhibit 'Quantum Wave-Particle Stupidity'

FREETHOUGHT-FORUM.COM (Internet News Service) -- Mad scientists at Bell Laboratories confirmed Tuesday that an Internet message board user's posts exhibit "unprecedented and heretofore unsuspected wave-particle stupidity."

The dual nature of the posts by peacegirl, a participant at Freethought-Forum, was discovered by passing her posts through a classic two-slit detector.

"Even when we fired each post through the detector one at a time with both slits open, eventually the posts built up a waveform of stupidity on the detector on the other side, suggesting that prior to a measurement, the posts are in a superposition of stupidity, being stupid every possible way it is to be stupid," said the lead mad scientist for the study, Dr. Jules Poindexter.

Poindexter went on: "When the post strikes the screen, it creates a single, really stupid point, but over time the wave nature of the stupid manifests itself."

In nature, photons, electrons and even some macroscopic objects have been passed through the two-slit detector, and they always exhibit wave-particle duality. Previously it was not thought that message board posts could exhibit a similar wave-particle stupidity.

The experiment also confirmed that while the degree of stupidity of each post is inherently indeterministic, one can square the amplitude of the wave function and derive a high probability of how stupid each post will be.

This is exactly why our world is in the state it's in. It's being run by mad scientists!!!

Um, and you don't call that downright arrogance LadyShea? Is studying facial recognition in dogs too beneath you?

As opposed to being run by ignorant pool hustlers and their crazy catlady daughters.

Tough choices all around, I agree.

Where have you been davidm? She's been ignoring contradictory evidence since post 1 thread 1. One of the amazing aspects of this thread is the number of posters who just can't get over it. The only real topic of this thread is peacegirls mental illness.

I know that non-absorbed light will be at the wall Angakuk, but this has nothing to do with EFFERENT VISION. No one seems to grasp the significance of this model in changing what it is we are looking at and why light alone cannot bring an image to us when there is no object in one's field of view.

I see you have decided to join the stupidity bandwagon along with your fellow cronies. You were one of the few that I thought had a few brain cells left. I guess not.

LOL, not at all. I have read several studies of it in fact and it's quite fascinating.

However, I don't think it's more important than all the Displays of Ignorance listed.

The verdict is not in, just remember that.

[LadyShea]

Lessans has been weighed. Lessans has been measured. Lessans has been found wanting.*

Just remember that.

peacegirl, you are the only person in the world that thinks that, but everyone knows that you are insane.

Well they probably have a lot to be angry about with people like Lessans trying to upset their neat little 'statis quo'.

Sometimes it's not how many brain cells you have, it's whether they are working or not.

So two photons that had equal values for these three measurements would be considered to be identical (at least until we learn how to read the serial numbers ).

Observables, not measurements.

Angakuk on the Stupidity Bandwagon, playing the tuba at far right. The wagon is traveling down a fiberoptic cable on teh Internets.

MESSAGE-BOARD POSTERS IN PERSPECTIVE

Report: Angakuk Joins Stupidity Bandwagon

FREETHOUGHT-FORUM.COM (Internet News Service) -- Angakuk has joined the stupidity bandwagon, it was confirmed Tuesday.

"It's true," the message-board poster at Freethought-Forum.com said in an e-mail interview. "I'm all on board with the stupid. I'm in it to win it with my cronies."

Angakuk, who in addition to posting messages at the Freethought-Forum message board is also a NeoTillichian Hierophant & Partisan Hack, said that he is now "playing the Boob Tuba" on the Stupidity Bandwagon.

"Oom-pah-pah, oom-pah-pah," Agnaugk said.

Another poster at the board, peacegirl, expressed disappointment at Angauk's decision to hop on board the Wagon of Witlessness.

"You were one of the few that I thought had a few brain cells left," peacegirl said. "I guess not. "

peacegirl, only an actual mad person insists that everyone else is mad.

I thought peacegirl said Lessans' claim are not in conflict with science. Now they are?

Thanks for the tuba. I always wanted to play one but could never afford the lessons, or the tuba. There are some who say that I don't need to bother with the tuba. They say I have plenty of brass as it is.

Also, in the course of 3 successive sentences you managed to spell my name three different ways, only one of which was correct. That is pretty impressive.

But it does have a great deal to do with whether or not non-absorbed light is reflected by the object.

So, did you conduct the experiment? If you did, what were the results?
