    Say you were a spy, and you think there’s a laser guarding the largest diamond in the world.

    There’s no way to detect if the laser is there without putting some form of matter in the way of the laser. Be it a hand, or spray bottle.

    Now at the museum, a mist won’t set off the alarm, but you’re still reflecting some of the photons out of the beam and into your eyes. Otherwise you wouldn’t see the beam…

    But for a quantum experiment, where we care about each individual photon, spraying a fine mist will affect the experiment. Sticking anything in that laser beam path will affect the measurement.

    So how do you make a measurement without interacting? As far as we know, you can’t.








  • When is the pizza ready? When has it approached zero?!

    We gotta get these pies moving cousin. 10 minutes or less or it’s free, that’s what big Tony says. We never should have let you take over operations, cousin, not with your fancy math degree. I felt bad because you couldn’t find job anywhere else. But what gabagool. What will mother say? You’re going to make her cry.





  • Just linking to an article about collective decision making isn’t really that helpful without quoting the article for your points.

    So that article you posted talks about animal behavior, and that an economic view on collective decision making is a good approach for animal behavior.

    As motivated in the Introduction, our review has focused primarily on an economic view on collective decision-making. The economic view is a staple of behavioural ecology, and motivates the tools of optimal decision theory for the study of animal behaviour.

    Nowhere did they make the conclusion that collecting decision making is superior, especially in the context of humans.
