When playing games with the kids, we start at 0 being the position you are currently in, then count from there.

e.g. in snakes and ladders, if you are on spot 30 and roll a 5, tap spot 30 and say "zero", then spot 31 is "one" etc.. till you are at spot 35 saying "five".

Teaches the kids about zero and avoids miss counts from the younger ones counting their current position as "one"

NO!

Can you turn me on Greg?

In one of their multitude of inter-nation conflicts; two cities were consumed in nuclear fire. On any sane world; these areas would be abandoned and the area around them a quarantine zone; the humans obviously not being fully sane, rebuilt and flourish.

This is related to the fact that humans along with most of the inhabitants of Sol3, are highly resilient to damage; of all kinds.

Humans reproduce slowly; but even though they generally reproduce not far above replacement rate, their resilience means their population still grows at an exponential rate. And on top of that; their advances in medical technology are on the verge of massive life extension. Soon they will have to move out into space; the galaxy better get ready for them.

You are applying too much classical thinking.

Something in superposition isn't in some unknowable but definite position before measurement.

It is all possible states, at the same time.

Einstein famously did not like the implications of QM, saying "god does not play dice with the universe", though his work on the photo electric effect helped pave the way for QM.

This is the way.

Getting my 5yo to accept that he can peddle and balance by himself; takes longer than the ability. He used to crash once he realized I had stopped balancing him, sometimes it would take a minute or more.

So is walking

No worries, I don't expect many people have an understanding of what superposition actually means.

The Lemmy crowd probably skews towards those that are likely to understand it, but you never know.

This is just a misunderstanding of superposition.

A superposition is being in all possible states before "collapsing" into a defined state, after interacting with something (a measuring device).

So Schrodinger's immigrant will be in all possible states; they are obviously lazy welfare bums; whilst simultaneously taking all the jobs; and being so poor that they eat your pets; and having the time to organize groups to go raping; whilst also being trustworthy enough to be a housekeeper or nanny

You are correct, it isn't scientific to extrapolate from such a paucity of data. We will have to have more data points to test any hypothesis.

I do indeed.

I also took a job far closer to home last year, I'm only commuting 8 minutes each way now.

Look at this guy, blithely inviting a holy war to his doorstep.
