<0> ) so you can do it, since they teach it in school?
<1> I'm not sure where you are going with this
<0> which part?
<1> I guess since I'm not sure where all this is leading. It's like being asked "would you like $10 million", and you'd say "I guess so", as you expect some strings to be attached
<0> just asking some questions
<0> because i find it interesting
<0> like
<0> you can do it (slow time up or speed it down) but you cant do it at will yet
<0> but its YOUR brain
<0> no need to question my intention, you should know by now im a pretty curious guy
<1> I agree you can't speed up or slow down time at will, but you can knowingly change the situation you're in so your perception of time distorts
<0> err
<0> i never said i couldnt do it on will
<0> i said you oculdnt do it
<0> ;)
<1> okay.
<2> do the docs talk about different format options for raid stripe sizes?
<3> ....
<3> try reading it ?
<0> APz: sorry, no offence meant :/
<1> none taken
<3> there is a difference between changing time and changing your impression of time though
<0> probably
<0> but you can never prove or disprove that, since its subjective
<3> well, most of what we know of advanced physics hasn't been proven either
<0> but great athletes are doing this, thats why they are so good
<4> hollow: use 128-512k ;)
<0> Kristian: dont get me started on scientists, or i will p9oint you in the direction of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bells_Theorem
<0> ;)
<3> damn you
<3> I allready spent an hour on wikipedia today
<0> hehe, this ones going to drive you crazy :)
<3> actually, I think I'll look at it tomorrow
<2> war--: i have the hardware setup for 64Kb stripe raid 5
<2> 300GB
<0> i dont blame you
<2> it will be for hosting win2k3 roaming profiles and folder redirects
<3> anything that has the word "quantum mechanics" in it can't be good for your sanity.
<2> avg file size 128Kb approx
<2> 15k rpm Ultra 320 drives
<2> war--: 512? that is huge
<3> he said 128-512
<0> Kristian: they call it something like 'the theory that disproves all other theories' and since its 'scientific' (which means the math hasnt been disproven and that the results are redoable) its driving peoiple crazy
<2> Kristian: thanks for clearing that up
<0> or rather, scientists
<3> nagual: it's not driving ME crazy
<3> I am a master of defying logic.
<3> but.... I'm off to bed
<0> Kristian: The derivation refers to several objective properties that cannot all be measured for any given particle, since the act of taking the measurement changes the state.
<0> basically it means, whenever you look at something, it changes
<0> which ofc means science is...unscientific..
<3> yeah, I remember that from physics years ago
<3> err, I seem to remember something about a cat, a box and some dynamite
<0> read prometheus rising by robert anton wilson if you are interested in this kind of stuff
<0> schrdingers cat yes
<3> indeed
<3> I actually remember that
<0> i havent understood what that ones about, and i dindt bother reading the wikipedia article well enough yet
<5> cant observe something without changing the outcome
<0> ok, so explain that to me
<0> pretty please :)
<3> accel420: exactlyl.
<3> I haven't had this for at least 4 years
<5> nagual inside the box is a switch
<5> it is either going to be triggered by an random moving particle or it wont be triggered.
<5> if the switch is triggered poision is injected into the box killing the cat
<0> yea 50/50 chance
<0> yes i know that
<0> but i dont undersatnd the point of the experiment
<5> you have no way of telling if hte cat is dead or alive unless you open the box and observe it
<5> the cat is both dead AND alive
<0> since you cant prove either way?
<5> exactally
<5> just a larger scale quantum mechanics expirement
<0> and why is there a need to prove its dead or alive?
<3> curiosity?
<5> curiousity killed the cat
<5> :P
<3> haha
<5> haha
<5> thats probally what that comes from
<3> there have been theories about using those properties for real life secure data transfers I belive, don't know how serious they are though
<0> accel420: did you read prometheus rising?
<3> but... night nagual, accel420 ... :)
<5> Now, according to Schrodinger's theory as I understand it (and that's saying very little), the above cat's state is as of this very moment exactly alive and dead (though technically, 100% dead and 100% alive at the same time -- hence the paradox) ...until someone opens this here bag, that is.
<5> night Kristian
<5> no i didnt nagual
<0> nn Kristian
<5> is it a good read nagual?
<0> i like it a lot
<0> but its...special
<5> you should read The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene
<0> the author is -very- intelligent, and also a bit prone to conspiracy theory (which is ok in mild dosage) and a -lot- of humour
<5> ill add it to my amazon list :)
<0> also, hes excellent at quantum physics
<0> basically its about freeing your mind
<0> is one way to explain it i gues
<0> whats it about?
<5> super string theory.
<5> but he talks about everything physics.
<5> very insightful
