Awwe, Question’s just a poor confused soul groping for meaning in the outer darkness of inadequate learning. If you beat up on him too much, he’ll just quit trying to learn anything, and remain swaddled in a choking cloak of ignorance til the end of time -At which point the wave function will collapse and he will be utterly destroyed by the sudden internal blossoming of infinite wisdom.
Methinks many people are throwing around the word “quantum” in an effort to look smart.
Q, we think you are not smart. You look for things. Things to make you go.
Outside of a real physics discussion, the only acceptable use of the word Quantum is as a proper noun, specifically referring to Scott Bakula playing Captain Jonathon Archer of the NX-01 Enterprise.
Actually, it’s perfectly correct to ask the lunchlady for a “quantum of lentil and bacon soup -heavy on the cheese.” There’s also the ever popular television show “Quantum Leap.” It’d be hard to talk about that dog without tossing in a quantum or two.
Q’s far from “the most idiotic person to ever disgrace our board.” There’ve been a number of nutters just in the time that I’ve been here. I’ve also seen examples from pre-simonian times as well.
Q’s pretty tame and has tended to pit himself in his threads so far.
