  1. +Luredreier Ok, now I've reached the one hour mark. They're discussing the experiment where you send in "white" electrons, measure the "hardness" and then interrupt the flow of "soft" electrons before measuring the color... Man, ok this is the kind of stuff where you're kind of tempted to set up a computer to create evolutions of this experiment using the known outputs to make various assumptions of possible explanations to see if there's any questions that we humans have not asked yet... Because I'm not going to accept that we know that the outcome of this experiment is decided along the two paths or in the hardness box, I personally believe the real issue lies in the mirror that works as an Y juncture in part due to how incredibly intuitive this result seems to be. I also can't stop thinking that there are two or more different types of "white" and two or more different types of "black" and that they behave differently in the "mirror" without us knowing about it.

  2. So, is the only evidence we have of "hard" and "black" not both being properties of something at the same time that we're incapable of measuring it? Even with multiple different measuring methods it's conceivable that the reason we can't measure both is that they do have both properties at the same time but that we're unable to create any way to measure them either withing the rules of physics (that is that the measuring equipment is impossible to create not that the properties don't exist in the first place) or that we're simply not capable of creating them due to preconceived assumptions that we're so far failing to detect and correct for. Is it not?
