It occurred to me that it could be of interest here, for the chaos theory is often quoted by the Heideggerian enemies of science and progress as proof that science doesn't always know what it's talking about. Ironically the so-called "erratic" behaviour of electrons under the circumstances mentioned below may eventually rebound on the trannies, and prove that universality (the notion of absolute equivalence) to be a myth and so too the notion [or folk-belief] in "essence," and that no two entities in the universe can be the same, and that therefore they all act differently, and that in fact if they WERE the same then there would be no interaction between them and thus no events? Cheers, Jud. Dear Cody, I found your first paper very interesting and in particular the references to the quantum aspects of electron behaviour when they are shot at two slits in a screen. Like most people, I have heard of the chaos theory of course, but being a non-scientist have not paid a lot of attention to it until I read your piece. When I was in the British Army we regular [full time] soldiers had to shoot for our pay once a year. As infantrymen we were paid different amounts depending upon our proven skills with the rifle. There was a considerable difference between the pay of a marksman and a third rate shot for example, quite apart from the kudos involved amongst competitive young men. Naturally this situation led to lots of discussions concerning the ballistics of rifle-shooting and the trajectory of an object in free flight (if there IS such a thing as FREE flight?") I can remember one such conversation concerning the fact that the general belief that all bullets [we used 303s] are exactly the same in size, weight, shape, surface condition and temperature is a myth, and that in fact no two bullets are the same, and their flight characteristics of speed, spin and their ultimate destination target-wise are not only affected by these differences, but also by the precise heat of the rifle barrel from which they are fired, and the subsequent varying distortion of the rifling of the gun metal as the metal quickly rises and falls in temperature at the instant that the projectile leaves the weapon. Could it be that the apparent chaotic behaviour of the electrons in these experiments, and the ostensibly random or unpredictable passage through one slit or the other, is not because of some mysterious cosmic randomness, or a significant abberation in the "laws" of physics, but simply because individual electrons [like individual bullets] behave individually depending upon their separate particularities, coefficients of expansion, their spin differentials, the effects of gravitation, and the concomitant distortional effects imparted by the electron-gun, [like the rifle barrel] upon the ballistical behavioural differences that flow from the existential differentiation and contrasting modalities of the individual electrons themselves? I would very much appreciate any comments from others on the list more skilled in matters scientific on this matter.
