Quantum Capers

Journal by turgid

You must remember the old joke about the electron who was stopped for speeding. The policeman said to him, "Sir, do you know how fast you were driving?"

"No," replies the electron.

"You were driving at precisely 100 miles per hour, sir."

Despondently the electron retorts, "Great, now I'm lost."

I was explaining that joke to Turgid jr. recently. When he was much younger, he just thought it was funny because an electron driving a car would be funny.

I said to him that he should ask his Religious Education teacher whether God knows the positions and momenta of all particles in the universe. His RE teacher is also his science teacher.

This should be interesting.

    why wouldn't yahweh know such things?

    later on when farther down the christian fascist rabbit hole, the yahweh cultists will claim that being unable to know the position and momentum is because scientists are decadent soy boys, weakling and incompetent men. we would have warp drive if not for their failures

    only the sword-tongue of the final form of MAN JEEBUS will kill the inferior SJW scientists and end their reign of covid terror, preparing the way for the NEW JERUSALEM to land on the THIRD TEMPLE
