Mr Scarf's Thought of the Semester

"If you _really_ want to bake the noodles of your class with philosophy...

The net results of the quantum reality is that the universe holds onto all possibility as long as possible, but we destroy that possibility by looking at it.  Many people refer to gods as beings of infinite possibility.  If our observation kills possibilities, is there a good reason that no god has ever shown themselves to us?"
