RE: [Avid-L2] Re: OT: Quantum Dots???

Ya know, i invoked good ole Schrodinger last week...explained the
paradox to my client and then pointed out....they didnt have a damn cat
in the first place!

It's bad enough how the presence of a camera already alters reality.
Now we'll have the throw the Heisenberg uncertainty principle into the
equation. Just by "imaging a scene", note I didn't say taping or
filming, the camera person/nuclear physicist will be altering reality
just by observing. And what happens when the camera is on a rocket
passing by the earth at half the speed of light shooting a person on the
earth turning on a flashlight? Will I be older or younger at the end of
the take? Oh man I'm having some Berkeley flash backs, the physics kind
not the other stuff that comes in dots. Oh well it's time to pet
Schrodinger' s Cat. ;-)
