Whilst I've heard this idea said plenty of times by scientists as a way of demystifying the double slit and similar experiments, it doesn't really do justice to the weirdness of the quantum world.
Firstly in the "default" interpretation there's no mechanism or explanation for how an observation causes wavefunction collapse, it's just a rule that it just does that. And the collapse doesn't correspond to a change in momentum of a particle or any other change in classical physical state, but something else entirely.
In the double slit experiment a detector at one slit somehow seems to affect the particle as it leaves the source, before it reaches the detector (so the effect is backwards in time!) And without the detector it goes through both slits at once.
Ah sorry I was talking about the train livery. You're right, I don't think the logo will be unpopular
The geometric design thing can sometimes look quite generic, like not quite original enough to really stand out and also not quite the classic look of a solid colour. But then I think this one looks decent enough.
Of course I'm not a designer or anything and I'm thinking purely about how it will look on a Hornby train set.
This might be unpopular, but I don't hate it
I'm not a huge fan of karaoke especially but this was an amusing read. Nice to know that fun and silly journalism is still going strong in the city
I remember there was a multiplayer server in this community about a year ago. I never joined and I don't know if it's still there:
Sounds like it's time to add logistics covering your whole rail network so that your bots can replace any other trains suffering the same fate. I think this is the only reasonable response to this event.
Took me a while to find out what I think these all are, still not 100% on some of them. From top left, going right:
- Multiplication over the rationals
- Wedge product / alternating product
- Function composition (ring operator)
- Inner product (e.g. scalar product)
- Tensor product
- Lie bracket
- Set intersection
- Vector product / cross product
- Tor functor
Corrections welcome!
A mixture of mercury and bromine makes for a funny kind of water
I feel like by dressing up as the cabbage he's made it look smaller in comparison
This is the exact selection this community was made for! Bourbons first and Nice last obviously. Custard creams used to be a close second but I've gone off them a bit. Crunchy Oats are the most underrated.
