RE: Schrödingery

If the thread is about what people prefer, it is both useful and useless depending on your preference, whether you read the thread or not.

Caveat #1: Regardless of your observation of the thread, or your preference regarding it's subject matter, you will never get those 2 hours of your life back.

Caveat #2: If you are really unlucky, the thread may also have killed your cat.

Maybe it's a "black hole" effect. If something passes the event horizon, we can no longer determine what passed into. We might be able to determine the mass and the entropy, but we can't determine the shape, colors, chemical compounds and similar aspects.

Ah, the "black holes have no hair" thing!

Though be careful: The point about the "no hair"-theorem is that you can only determine the mass, charge, and angular momentum of the entire black hole, everything else is lost. Entropy is a bit more finicky...

Of course, as so many things in physics, this is always a bit disputable and in a state of flux. Especially after Hawking sees a way for "lost" information to escape.

And thank goodness for that, because it would just seem horribly unscientific if we had to call them Hairy Holes, or Furry Holes...

What ever do you mean by that? Sure they have hair, see:

Y'know, originally black holes were often called "dark stars" or "obscured stars", because... you know... there are other associations with "black hole". Especially in French.

Thank goodness I never learned French.
