Science Is Crazy
Hey man. Watcha up to?
Playing with electrons.
So you really are crazy as I suspected.
Well, maybe. I can't reject the non-crazy hypothesis right now, but it's pretty irrelevant. I've been thinking about electrons and matter-waves ever since I tried to use them to see other electrons.
I brought brewskis. Wife's having a girl's night out again, whatever that is. You never told me you tried to see electrons. Did you ever see one?
Nope, but that turned out to be the best possible outcome. Check this out.
What's that?
Nickel crystal. Electrons are weird. The have mass but act like a wave. It's like you never know where they will end up. Maybe they don't actually have a place, just a probability of being in one, like you see with a double slit lamp. Position and momentum measurements are trade-offs. What if it's real what we are measuring and not just artifactual? Isaac Newton would shit his pants.
The subatomic world in your mind is batshit crazy. Here. Think fast.
Thanks. You've got a great recipe. Where do you get real brewing yeast?
Somewheresburg. Yeah. I thought about expanding, but then there's Big Al to deal with. What else is new?
Some really strange stuff. I've been reviewing some papers, and things just aren't adding up. I'm no longer sure that protons and neutrons are actually protons and neutrons. They may be just a bunch of smaller things held together by some seriously strong glue or something. Maybe in my son's lifetime if he were interested in that sorta thing he might get to work with a 20 mile long electron gun powered by a thousand electrical generators, because that's what it's likely to take to unglue them if they are actually a bunch of things held together as to mostly look like something else. I'm starting to believe that electrons maybe don't even have a location unless someone looks.
Twenty mile long electron guns. Electrons don't have a location unless you look for them. Dafuq are they hanging out when no one is looking? That's crazy.
Yeah. That's science for ya.
