I’m not a big fan of movies that use time travel as a key component of the plot. It makes my brain hurt, a simple process, going through all the options and considering the results, if, if, if…… With time travel part of the equation you can justify anything and yet at the same time prove it can’t be so. Aargh.
Now I come across this article on quantum mechanics which is doing the same thing. The article says that ‘we may live in a world in which windows un-break and cold cups of coffee spontaneously heat up’ It is explained by quantum entanglement but goes against every bit of logic and science that I now of. It even has a nice little twist of erasing your memory so you never remember the episodes. Now I’m sure that if a cold cup of coffee heated upon a regular basis, even if our memories are wiped we would have a big queue at hospitals where people were in for scalding or if windows repaired themselves we would have a lot of pissed off glaziers who had been called out for nothing. I just find it too far fetched to believe. Like God we are expected to take a leap of faith and accept this as fact.
Apparently this has been proved mathematically but when you get down to this level very few understand the math and it is easy to prove anything. Luckily though his maths managed to erase your memory as well so you don’t remember it. I think this guy is in the wrong field, there must be room in the climate change camp for someone like this. He can mathematically prove that the temperatures at the monitoring stations spontaneously increased, our memories have been erased but the readings were recorded electronically and quantum entanglement is not yet aware it needs to erase computer memory as well.
I think I need a job like this guy. I have theories on many things. Where can I apply?
Now wouldn’t it be embarrassing if the theory works out to be true and I read, understood and was happy with it but had simply had my memory erased. Oh wait. My brain is hurting again.
