Please, do not do that. You know that a wave is perfectly mathematical object, and THUS the position (and momentum) of a wave can NOT be predicted, BECAUSE they are mathematically entangled. But their product (so to speak) can be predicted.

So, math indeed rules universes but math is MORE smart than we, humans, with our limited FEELINGS of what should (and what should not) be predicted.

  - I disagree - yanniru - October 25, 2001 - 15:04 UTC
    - Alex is quite correct! - doctordick - October 25, 2001 - 17:23 UTC

        So, what is the EXACT POSITION of infinite e/m wave? (nt) - alexander - October 26, 2001 - 17:24 UTC
        
        The position of the entire wavetrain - yanniru - October 26, 2001 - 20:53 UTC
        
        Not a phase but a position. - alexander - November 5, 2001 - 11:07 UTC
        
        Beat's me since photon does not exist - yanniru - November 5, 2001 - 15:23 UTC
- Maybe it's semantic - luis_hamburgh - October 24, 2001 - 22:58 UTC
  - Math is not a language - it tells universe how to behave. - alexander - October 26, 2001 - 03:19 UTC
I'm confused (it's perpetual) - luis_hamburgh - October 24, 2001 - 22:54 UTC
