I don’t give a flying fuck about the “duality of a man”. As I said, we can’t cancel the work of this POS. What we can do is letting his story die among other not so famous scientists but nonetheless more relevant even in the eyes of science. Those who deserve to be known and reminded.
My dad liked that quote “You die twice. First when your body shuts down. Second the last time someone ever pronounces your name”
So if you don’t mind, let’s kill that motherfucker once and for all.
Curious, non native English speaker?
Reminded is more like to make them remember. Remembered would be the word.
Also, pronounces kinda works, but simpler would just be the word “says”, or to add a more ominous tone “utters”.
No judgement, actually positive judgement… it’s very good English. And better than I speak any other language.
You’re right, I’m French
Thank you!
Sure. Which other scientist who first designed Schrödinger's Cat experiment should I refer to by name, then?
The S. Cat experiment has always been a pun. It argues that the cat is in superposition of state, which is absurd. That was a bad dad joke from the very beginning.
So what you’re asking is basically “how do I tell the joke without telling the joke?”
And my answer to that is maybe you simply shouldn’t tell that joke because it’s bad.
There are tons of better quantum physics jokes. Go watch an episode of Futurama
No, it's a thought experiment, not a pun or joke.
It can be both. The pun was created to highlight the supposed shortcomings of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics.
The whole setup is purposefully grotesque.
OK then, how do you think it's a pun?
It’s just an unrealistic expectation is alls I’m saying. The fact is, people will remember his name in 10,000 years because he is a part of history and you can’t rewrite history.
Let’s agree to disagree aye.
I think in 10,000 years he’ll be in the books, but people won’t be making memes, and the average person won’t know anything about him.
Idk, I think it's worth mentioning. I didn't know that about him.
Sure bring it to people’s attention, as I didn’t know either, but I was arguing that we can’t scrub the dude from history as that’s just a deluded expectation.
No need to even bring it to people's attention. The guy is known among normies for a maybe virtual cat at best and not much else. That's his contribution and importance to humanity and general audiences won't need to recall anything else. Crying to bring to attention the whole pedophile thing outside of academia (or heck, even in academia, how does it even affect the experiment?) is pretty much self-defeating in that sense.
