If god were sufficiently small, quantum smearing would
explain his alleged omnipresence. His tendency to move in a
mysterious way could likewise be accounted for by
diffraction.

If the way that he chooses is straight and sufficiently narrow but provides two choices, does he end up interfering with himself? |
|
| |
//Small, like a virus?// No, wayyyy smaller than
that. It would be a question of how many gods you
can fit on the head of a photon. |
|
| |
//does he end up interfering with himself?// On the
basis of recent revelations from the Catholic church,
I think that if you're going to interfere with anyone,
it should really be yourself. |
|
| |
Which particular god are we talking about here? |
|
| |
I think there'd have to be only one, for the
omnipresence deal to work safely. |
|
| |
My name is an electron/When I lose excitement, I
give light/Am I not god? |
|
| |
.... and the idea here is? |
|
| |
Damn. Yes. The idea. OK, how about a religion
based on the worship of smallness and the resulting
quantumtude? |
|
| |
I think it would need a smaller name. Also, since
the quantum state of a quantum god is, by
definition, unknowable, I think we need to drop the
"ology" suffix. |
|
| |
This would entail God being a Shrödinger God: he both exists and doesn't exist, at the same time. |
|
| |
zeno: that's an area also explored by Neil Gaiman in American Gods, and Michael Moorcock, in many of his books, and even StarGate WTF. But it has more to do with gods being powered by prayer than by quantum effects. |

Inside and outside the meat processor there is the sensuous quantum information aether, that can be immersed in as dreams, or situated in as reality. Dreams can be as large as reality, but as a quantum energy field are concievably quite small. |
|
| |
In the name of the Fermion, the Meson and the holy Gluon. |
|
| |
I suppose the devil would be the Chameleon particle, speculated to be responsible for Dark matter? |
|
| |
//In that case "göd".//
That I like. |
|
| |
//Ämen.//
Which reminds me of Å. And why doesn't "Angstrom"
mean a maelstrom of angst? |
|
| |
Hang in there. Someone once described manic
depression as "riding a stationary cycle" - if it doesn't
kill you, it makes you stronger. |
|
| |
"In the de Broglie–Bohm picture of quantum mechanics there can exist empty waves, called ghost waves (or "Gespensterfelder," ghost fields)." [wikiP] Can we upgrade those to be "Holy Ghost Waves"? |
|
| |
Yo [bigs] stick around, please. If you've been round
the loop a few times, you ought to know by now
that the impossible happens whether you believe in
it or not. If you haven't, take my word for it. |
|
| |
I thought God was the Higgs Boson. Baked? |
|
| |
If I killed myself for everytime I've been depressed at the
very least I'd be dead. |
|
| |
If we are micro to His macro... then am I quirky because He is quarky? Do we zig only when He zags? |
|
| |
I think if he was that small, then he can't be a he.
Unless there is a male/female substitution of strange/
charm. |
|
| |
//Do we zig only when He zags?// Only [Xen] zags. |
|
| |
//I think if he was that small, then he can't be a
he// Well, there are quite a few particle pairs which
differ only by a very small mass. Perhaps this
reflects the mass of subatomic genitalia. |
|
| |
So, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are quantumly entangled? That explains everything. |
