Quantum entanglement
-
:(( While some people are having fun tying photons together, I am here, trying to debug this big huge immense enormous gigantic 80 line pile of random chars that some call "regular expression", which for some reason seems to backtrack too much and takes too much CPU... :mad: Someone wish me luck.. :sigh: Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them... :sigh:

Isn't it funny how new knowledge breaks constraints that seem like fundamental limits? [a] laser can’t read the information encoded in the disc’s pitted surface if the pits measure less than half the wavelength of the light, thus constraining the amount of data that can be stored on the disc. Now two teams of researchers have harnessed a core property of quantum physics called entanglement to link photons together, overcoming this so-called diffraction limit. http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa003&articleID=0009A807-8FAB-10A2-8FAB83414B7F0000[^] ----------------------------------------------------- Bush To Iraqi Militants: 'Please Stop Bringing It On' - The Onion

I can't post it here, as it's copyrighted code, but it looked like this: http://www.regexlib.com/REDetails.aspx?regexp_id=390[^] Then, I commented it out and broke it in several lines and now it's 80 lines big, but still hard to understand...

Isn't it funny how new knowledge breaks constraints that seem like fundamental limits? Or application of old knowledge. The concept of entanglement has been known for nearly as long as the uncertainty principle. We have finally started to embrace it. The uncertainty principle still applies, as a relationship between momentum and position. They have just found a way to increase the momentum by creating an entangled quasi-particle rather then increasing the wavelength of the light.

dude, you gotta get off that stuff, I heard regular expressions cause cancer. I know of a good support group if you really wanna quit. Remember, the first step to quitting is realizing you have a problem. Don't worry bro, we're here for you. ~Nitron.

Substitute the words "wife" and "mistress" and "affair" and you have an equally valid statement regarding entanglement, position, and momentum. :-D Marc Microsoft MVP, Visual C# MyXaml MyXaml Blog

Luck to you! Nothing sounds "regular" about that expression... I'd be willing to put money on the chance that the person who wrote it had more than a brush or two with PERL :-D Syntactic sugar causes cancer of the semicolon. ~ Alan Perlis

Marc Clifton wrote: In other words, when magic turns into science? How ironic. I was just reading this earlier today... "...With respect to Mystery, everything we behold is, in one sense, a mystery to us. Our own existence is a mystery: the whole vegetable world is a mystery. We cannot account how it is that an acorn, when put into the ground, is made to develop itself and become an oak. We know not how it is that the seed we sow unfolds and multiplies itself, and returns to us such an abundant interest for so small a capital. The fact however, as distinct from the operating cause, is not a mystery, because we see it; and we know also the means we are to use, which is no other than putting the seed in the ground. We know, therefore, as much as is necessary for us to know; and that part of the operation that we do not know, and which if we did, we could not perform, the Creator takes upon himself and performs it for us. We are, therefore, better off than if we had been let into the secret, and left to do it for ourselves...." http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/thomas_paine/age_of_reason/part1.htm[^] Later, JoeSox "Without purpose there is no existence." -- Mr. Smith, Matrix Reloaded joeswammi.com ↔ humanaiproject.org ↔ joeswammi.com/sinfest
