you don't know whether hes alive or dead until you meet him. Schrödinger's Frog

Yknow apparently Schrodinger actually used the famous cat thought experiment to discredit the concepts that are currently associated with it. Funny how such things happen.

apparently or is that what actually happened?

I think that is a lie.

It is both a lie and not a lie until you observe it.

I dunno. The experiment isn't really a good testament to the quantum nature of observation anyway so I could see it. But then again, it's a pretty good way to explain the concept to a layman so I could see it going either way.

Mostly just think it's an interesting anecdote to be honest.

Words and things change meaning over time.

Like how "literally" means "figuratively" now.

Nahaz was right
#nopatch

 

[Anbokr]

nahaz assassinated icefrog so that his prediction would come true, reddit would suck his dick, and then valve would be forced to rehire him for ti6 and give him a solo panel

 

[Monochromaticx]

If nahaz is right about the patch ill quit dota

Yup. I really enjoy thinking about these things. And it's always a headache when someone pedantic rails on and on about how only one meaning is "real" or some nonsense.

Another similar example is "could care less".

hmm, but what does pedantic really mean? Because you're not using it accurately

TSwift overrated

 

[inkls]

tswift is the techies of dota

 

[twobear]

I think that is a lie.

it's not. schrödinger came up with schrödinger's cat to show how stupid the copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics is

you're not supposed to say, 'of course, makes perfect sense that the cat is both alive and dead simultaneously!'

you're supposed to say, 'hang on a minute, that's just stupid'

[edit] and because people get it wrong a lot, the point isn't that you don't know whether the cat is alive or dead before you check. the point is that it's both and the act of checking is (according to a literal version of the copenhagen interpretation) what decides whether it is.

I knew you'd be familiar with this.

Score: 1 for NormalFish

Mono and Inkls way behind.

asking for proof instead of gobbling down hearsay ala reddit?

io, who represents the electromagnetic force, has to join himself to other heroes...what does the electromagnetic force do? u guessed it, it causes atoms to stick together to form molecules.

That's the strong nuclear force, you dork.

Kotl is the electromagnetic force.

try shift alt

 

[TUSR]

Ｉ　ｈｏｐｅ　ｔｈｉｓ　ｗｏｒｋｅｄ！

suns emit light is because of the weak force. so kotl releasing blasts of light makes perfect sense if u think about it!

That's the strong nuclear force, you dork.

this is exciting because someone has to be wrong

 

[Sibylus]

WAIT a minute.

Io is everywhere, and in all things. Denounced by enemies as the great unmaker, worshiped by scholars as the twinkling of a divine eye, Io occupies all planes at once, the merest fraction of its being crossing into physical existence at any one moment.

Like the great twin riders Dark and Light, and yet another ancient traveler whose true history is lost to the ages, Io the Wisp is a Fundamental of the universe—a force older than time, a wanderer from realms far beyond mortal understanding. Io is nothing less than the sum of all attractive and repulsive forces within matter, a sentient manifestation of the charge that bind particles together. It is only in the controlled warping of these forces that Io’s presence can be experienced on the physical plane. A benevolent, cooperative force, Io bonds its strength to others so that the power of allies might be enhanced. Its motives inscrutable, its strength unimaginable, Io moves through the physical plane, the perfect expression of the mysteries of the universe.

Fucking Icefrog played us with vagueness, godels

 

[Sigismundo]

I'm seeing bad Aquila Invokers everywhere now. Fuck's sake Artour.

 

[twobear]

That's the strong nuclear force, you dork.

Kotl is the electromagnetic force.

?

no

the strong force holds the nucleus of atoms together (it holds quarks together inside protons and neutrons, and it holds protons and neutrons together)

but the electromagnetic force governs the interaction between electrons and the nucleus of atoms and is the reason why atoms join together into molecules

keeper of the light is the weak force and io is the EM force, as can be seen from enigma's interactions

when he kills io;

Wisp, you cannot escape my grasp.

famously, not even light can escape from a black hole

and when killing kotl

Your weakness was your undoing.

Ezalor, the weak and infirm.

Though you spark suns to shine, you cannot escape me.

which is weak force that sparks suns to shine?

yw.

 

[Sibylus]

You win this round, godels.

Had forgotten the lore didn't specify subatomic particles

 

[twobear]

however one aspect of the lore regarding the fundamentals that i am not so fond of is that chaos knight's description claims that he's chasing the kotl to return the primordial unity or whatever after kotl left on his own. however, the strong force separated from the (then-)electroweak force prior to the electroweak separating into weak and electromagnetic. sloppy lorebuilding imo.
