Here's message I just sent to another list.  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. 

Best wishes,
