    The article is related to the Unruh Effect which should be tested sometime in the next three years and predicts that, at close to the speed of light, the vacuum of space itself will transform into an impenetrable wall of raw energy. Quantum mechanics just laughs at metaphysical extremes by transforming them into something altogether different with time becoming indistinguishable from energy and, already, an automated version of Maxwell's Demon has been constructed that directly converts information into useful energy. It is these transformations themselves that suggest an underlying systems logic where the law of identity goes down the nearest convenient rabbit hole or toilet of your personal preference on any given occasion. If so, it should display a four fold supersymmetry making Relativity about four times as complex when expressed as a systems logic. So far, we know time runs backwards more often the smaller anything becomes, comes to a crawl at relativistic accelerations, and in an intense gravity well and the Quantum Zeno Effect proves a watched pot of entangled quanta will never boil. A perfect clock is perfectly impossible. Curioser and curioser. Asians would say everything including the passage of time can be thought of as expressing social and antisocial behavior.

    A Watched Clock Will Never Boil

    Unless its really a boiling clock,
    Where the time vanishes into thin air,
    Producing maximum entropy production!
    In a humble and ubiquitous phase transition,
    While, curiously, the smaller anything becomes,
    The more often it will violate the arrow of time.
    Boiling clocks running backwards more often,
    Convince invisible pixies time is but a joke,
    Anyone has all the spacey-time they want!
    All any requires, is invisible pixies with attitude!
    All that anyone has ever needed to go home again,
    All anyone has ever needed, to find themselves again,
    Time speeding up yet slows down just in the nick of time!
    Where does all the time go approaching the speed of light?
    Yet, the shadow remains, but the memory of the eternal light!
    The invisible light in the dark pointing out the end of the tunnel!
    Where the smallest pond can shed light upon the truly Big Picture,
    Where the smallest molehill grows into a mountain of bullshit overnight.
    Where both a Goldilocks Principle and Murphy's Law rule the universe itself!
    "Fascinating" said Mr Spock on Star Trek, "Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations,"
    But I fail to see what could possibly be so funny about humor being intrinsic to spacey-time.​

    Electrons zipping around a 100 picometer atomic orbit at near light speeds tend to seem a little blurry when you try and predict where they are at any given instant. What is a 'blur' but a range of possible positions where the exact position is unknown. The observer effect is a real problem. The exact position of a quantum particle is only known when it is destroyed. Typically, when it passes through a polarity filter and collides with the atoms of a sensor, increasing the energy of the sensor and measured as a hit or miss. A larger problem than the observer effect is sensationalist pseudo-science. Where dishonest scientists cloud their work in mysterious and misleading woo woo gibberish; "quantum teleportation", "zeno effect"... Any time a superposition particle is portrayed as being "all actual states", as opposed to "an unknown position from a range of possibilities", then you are reading sensationalist pseudo-science bullshit. Demand honesty, and more experiment details, and simple common sense. Yes, for fuck sakes, our scientists should have some basic common sense! Time does not run backwards anywhere, that's just fucking nonsense. Observation does not make the state, it only shows what is was when you destroyed it. Keep that in mind every time you read any supposed quantum science publication.

    You have that wrong, the Bohr model of the atom is actually probabilistic and you can call it pseudo-science all you want, but the Standard Model of quantum mechanics rules out classical mechanics. It is the most wildly successful theory of all time and to call it bullshit and psuedo-science just demonstrates your ignorance of the subject. You can run, but you cannot hide from empirical evidence except by sticking your head in the sand and shouting "I can't hear you!"

    "Science" without questioning and challenging information is called RELIGION!

    If someone says they can observe particles without effecting them, then they are LYING **cough** zeno effect **cough**.

    as I have mentioned before, magical thinking.

    Science that merely questions, while rejecting observations, is Three Stooges slapstick. In fact, the first quantifiable theory of humor has established that anything low in entropy can be considered funny and science that rhetorically questions everything is just more Vaudeville slapstick that should even be quantifiable.
