Is a new member, Question. I’ll quote him here, just so you can get a general idea, but it’s best to read [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=232099&perpage=50&pagenumber=1) to fully comprehend his idiocy. > [@](#): > > _Originally burbled by Question_ > i’ve slept… let me try to explain this… > > - reality is non-local, seperate from time > - our perception of time is the wavefunction collapsing > - before the wavefunction collapses “what is” is a quantum state > - long-term memories are determined by synaptic morphology > > . > . > > so, since reality is unaffacted by time the only thing that prevents us from understanding existance in totality is our attachment to the perception of ourselves as something different from the energy that forms us and everything else. the past only exists because our minds are finely tuned machines that filter all of reality that has ever existed so that we can understand it based on who we are now. drugs, sleep, divine influence and many other things can interfere with this process and allow some information through that isn’t totally relevent to our current incarnation but is nontheless related, past lives included. > . > . > our subconscious that exists in a quantum state analyzes the information and transmits it to the rest of the brain, triggering whatever process that alters the shape of our synapses to form long term memories Footnote: Lekatt has popped up to defend this poor, delusional oxygen thief. I doubt that there’s a surer indicator of idiocy available to us. ---

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](http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=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.
