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.

    Whenever I measure, I am always here (x = 0), but I am uncertain where here is (delta-x = infinity).

    Whenever I look, I seem to be going nowhere (p = 0), but I am uncertain of the momentum of the hand-basket I am in. (delta-p = infinity).

    Thus my state is perfectly defined.
