Stop refering to John by his last name, its extremely insulting. Learn some manners.

I strongly suggest you refer to people with more respect.

If you feel insulted then report it to the mods and stop ratting on people by opening a pathetic thread. I dont want to see this and I feel insulted by this.

I immediately thought of this but this is also entertaining contrary to the OP:

"Dark" is a subjective term as different animals are capable of seeing different wavelenghts. A healthy human eye sees roughly between 400nm-700nm wavelenght region. Lack of radiation in that particular wavelenght region is "darkness" for us humans(all primates see roughly in those wavelenghts) Frankly, I couldn't think of a simpler case of explaining what something is - look up swansont's explanation above.

Darkness is lack of light. End of story.

Today I learned that soldiers in the Polish army (doesnt matter if hes behind the desk or not) have to pass an annual physical, graded exam. There are different time limits for different excersizes for different age groups The excersizes are the same for all age groups, just the times vary. For my age group (40-45) To get the absolute highest grade I'd have to do 12 clean overgrip pullups, 60 clean pushups, swim 550m below 12 minutes and run 3km below 12 minutes. Edit: Unless the soldiers I have in my IT training are screwing with me which is possible.

Self centered, not aware of their own incompetence and utterly convinced. In short - morons grind my gears.

Evolution.

As this is the core of this thread, by all means please do go into it here.

TakenItSeriously, I can safely assume now that your thought processes are clear to me.

I think we have to all admit that we got hoaxed. Psycho-flat-earth-Sandor got us. I would have been all over this thread 6 months ago if I was 100% convinced there was crack-pottery going on but I wasn't. Lesson learned for me - no mercy.

Yes, Im aware of that. Devising an experiment to prove or disprove earths shape just doesn't parse with me.

Right. It seems though that the outcome of this "experiment" is that the earth is flat and as I said, I was suspicious of this from the start. Why would anyone want to perform such an experiment in the first place.

I was suspicious of this thread the day it started over half a year ago. Its truly incredible that Sandor the crackpot went through all this trouble and was actually able to get people like studiot, DrKretin and others into discussing his hidden agenda.

Got it. Wow, this is truly astonishing. His comments there are truly something...I will never stop to be amazed by the level of dillusion that people are capable of: "WE are happy to present to you the ultimate proof of FLAT WATER SURFACE. Globers buckle up this will be a tough ride NO DROP over the 6kms distance - how is the globe model accounting for FLAT water surface? EARTH IS FLAT! "

Flat earth?! Is this really whats this about? Could you link that please? Astonishing...

This example of a poker hand provides zero evidence for your assertions. What does calling or not calling an allin 3bet from the BB while having AJs and putting the guy on some range while having 2:1 odds have to do with quantum mechanical superposition? Its a rhetorical question - it has zero correlation, please dont even bother to explain and get youreself deeper into the rabit hole of nonsense.

TakeItSeriously, you have erected a hypothesis that "poker is correlated to quantum mechanics" on superposition level. I will be more than glad if you could provide evidence for your hypothesis meanwhile, I will be sticking to my assertion that there are no superposition states in poker (that includes hand ranges) and the only correlation is probability. Quantum mechanical superposition states of particles are really undetermined, these states really all exist at once whereas hand ranges in poker are not in a superposition state - they do not exist all at once, they are simply possibilities (with certain probabilities based on equity/math/psychology) of what your opponent could have. I will be more than happy if you could provide any evidence for quantum mechanical superposition states within hand range probabilities in poker.

For those who are not familiar with poker strategy - Hand ranges are thought experiments performed by the oponent to try to determine your cards or put you on a range of possible hands you might be holding. There are multiple factors to take into account to be able to determine a players range, I will give the simplest examlpe accounting for just one factor - stack size which is the amount of money you have at the moment in chips. If in a no limit game a player has a high stack, his oponent will give him credit for a stronger hand than if he is on a low stack. On a hight stack his range will be more narrow, on a low stack his range will be wider. This is dealing with classical unknowns which Im sory to repeat again have nothing to do with superposition or entalglement we see in QM. In QM we are dealing with truly undetermined states, in poker we are deling with classical unknowns in card/deck/hand combinations - they are determined states with classical unknowns.
