Experiment About Topical Discussion... (Or lack therof) In S/B

**spockman** · 09-16-2008 03:43 AM

These threads always seem to get totally off topic even when the topic seems legit and interesting to talk about...

Therefore I propose an experiment. I shall make the topic of this thread something totally uninteresting to talk about for most people and see if it stays on topic. I do so love irony...

So here it is. We shall discuss the fundamental as well as advanced principles of trigonometry.

First at hand pertaining to the topic, do the inherent truths in Heisenberg's uncertainty principle help or hinder our understanding of Trigonometric wavelets?

Or for some reason do you deny either of those two principles?

(I'll be honest, I have VERY little knowledge on the subject beyond what the statement means. I just flippin googled Trigonometry debates... Hehehe. I couldn't even come close to giving a valid answer to that question so I'm trusting you all to. My trust may be unfounded... We'll see.)

first we have to understand the prinipals.
in quantum mechanics, the partcle is described by a wave. the position is where the wave is concentated and the momentum, is the wavelength. neither the position nor the velocity is precisely defined; the position is uncertain to the degree that the wave is spread out, and the momentum is uncertain to the degree that the wavlength is illdefined.the only kind of wave with a definite position is concentrated at one point, and such a wave has no wavelength. conversely, the only kind of wave with a definite wavelength is an infinite regular periodic oscillation over all space, which has no definite position. so in quantum mechanics, there are no states which describe a particle with both a definite position and a definite momintum. the narrower the probability distribution is for the position, the wider it is in momentum. and since the the heisenberg uncertainty principle states that locating a particle in a small region of space makes the momentum of the particle uncertain; and conversely, that measuring the momentum of a particle precisely makes the position uncertain, i would say that the heisenberg's uncertainty principle does hinder the Trigonometric wavelets.
just my opinion i guess.

Seriously spockman; I'm impressed by your bravery, but this was never going to work.

I am allergic to trigonometry.

Seriously. Well, it's more of a phobia than an allergy, but it's there.

lol. that's funny!!

Well, we made it to post four before it all went to crap... hehehe.
Props to Orozco for knowing what I was talking about even when I didn't! Well, I geuss I'll join in on the fun.
