For shame. -

He does not.
Thanks are like weed to mmQ. He has snorted thanksijuanas too hard and for too long. Now he injects Thanks every day as a matter of course. It is like breakfast now. MmQ doesn't receive any joy from his Thanks any more: he just feels upset when he clicks on his username and the number hasn't ticked up.
You see once upon a time I was one of the big papas of Thanks on NIS. I know the ennui of the new Thank. -

These people should be have their head caved in with a rock by the nearest good Samaritan to spare them from continuing to live as a fucking retard. -

Originally posted by gadzooks Very well said.
You didn't really have to call me a retard earlier, but whatever, bygones be bygones, water under the bridge, and so forth.
This convergence towards a singular explanation is kind of exactly what I was getting at earlier with the whole idea of pragmatic knowledge over pure knowledge.
These convergences towards a single source of truth are only probabilistically valid. Lanny was right when he pointed out that all this talk of statisticical inference and probabalistic conclusions are really just wishful thinking.
I personally take the position that scientific "fact" is tantamount to logical "fact".
But I know deep down that it's really just a set of statements about the universe that we all implicitly buy into, despite the fact that "Truth" with a captital T can't be espablished on such principles.
Basically, we exist in an epistemological void with no true knowledge to speak of, but we certainly have scientific "facts" that we can rely on with the same faith we often tend to apply to, say, religion.
I'm going to call you retarded again because you really made the statement that because it's based off

Originally posted by Odigo Messenger - Now With Free 911 Service This is plain wrong, and your description of path integrals was missed the point too.
1. I didn't define path integrals anywhere.
2. Say why I'm wrong or go fuck yourselfLanny, QM is a model, not a hypothesis. You can't directly test a model.
1. The Standard Model is a model. QM is a branch of physics.
2. Guess what a model is.You guys are worse than a pair of new agers banging their crystals together to raise their vibrations.
This is possibly the lowest grade jediigi bait I've ever seen. -

Originally posted by mmQ When people say motherfucker usually they emphasize fucker but really they should be emphasizing mother right? Like that's the insult like you fuck your mom you mom fucker. But people say it line
Motherfucker
When should be
"hey get away from me you stupid mother fucker.
Im right as usual. I wonder why it's changed.
I always emphasize mother in motherfucker. In Pakistan, insulting someone's mother is fighting words. If you want to cause massive asspaon, go for the mother.
So it's instinctive to me. If I ever yell/say motherfucker, it's usually MOTHERfucker. I might also equally emphasize mother and fucker, like MOTHER, FUCKER. It's rarely just motherFUCKER. -

Originally posted by Nigger Stole My Bike Why is it valid to apply the mathematics of wave functions to abstract knowledge?
It's just mathematics. Feynman's formulation allows us to actually derive the math behind wave functions (the Schroedinger equation) from pure geometry. So we know why Schroedinger's equation works from a mathematics standpoint.
The specific relevance is that even though you can make an infinite amount of hypotheses to explain any given phenomenon (or map any single path between two points), there are some fairly strong trends that make possible to at least reduce the scope to the more relevant hypotheses. -

Originally posted by Odigo Messenger - Now With Free 911 Service I don't. Why don't you explain it to us all?
There are an infinite number of paths a particle can take between any 2 points, however all but a small range of paths cancel out, and the possible paths overwhelmingly converge on a straight line between the two points.
The relevance is that there might be an infinite number of hypotheses that can explain a particular phenomenon but they sure seem to converge on some in particular.
