Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Physicists reverse quantumclassical transition.
-It's one of the most perplexing questions in physics: how does the seemingly exotic behaviour of tiny particles in the quantum realm collapse to create the classical reality observable in matter that is at least a molecule big? Now, an experiment further muddies the distinction between the two realms by demonstrating that it is possible to halt the transition from the quantum to the classical in its tracks and reverse it.

Mu.

Thanks for the article. I recall that someone, Leon Lederman possibly, had long taken exception to the seemingly paradoxical Schrodinger's Cat proposal.

"On opening the box, Schrdinger's cat is either dead or alive there is no in between."

Maybe he's gagging on a hairball?

Physics still has some 'splaining to do.

Or the reincarnated one could be (God forbid) Ronald Reagan. Try to digest that one, two more century's of Ronnie!



Kind of makes you want to vomit again? Makes one remember the past.

"It tells us that we really can't assume that measurements create reality, because it is possible to erase the effects of a measurement and start again."

I thought this was the most fascinating and thought provoking quote from the entire article.
