Mind the Gap

Trains are, by their very nature, a disjoint space. You step in here, you step out there. And the associated intent and belief of the passengers made them almost perfect for her purposes. Almost.

Schr̦dinger and Heisenberg and the others had got it right Рit was observability alone that had the power to collapse the waveforms of probability. While her fellow passengers could see the British countryside, the British countryside was where they were. Oh but the tunnels were a different matter entirely. Enter a tunnel and they could be anywhere. And so they were anywhere.

  1. I like to think of the uncertainty principle as when I am downtown you know I am SOMEWHERE downtown but until you see me you can assume I am all over downtown (diffused like a gas) until you see me driving by….for some reason that makes sense to me as the information you have is limited and who cares if you are local or not, probability tells us only so much! now how fast am i driving?!
