Posted by Therrin There is no barn.
Exactly. The politically correct term would be 'alternate housing for farm-related equipment'. Now, the big question is, how farm-related is it?! If not, we need a new term...

Oh my word, I must be the only farmer on here. The government does not use the term "Barn" any longer, it is called a "Covered Feed Lot with End Walls."
Ask the government if they give grants for farmers to build barns and they will say no. Ask for a grant for a covered feed lot with end walls (what you and I would call a barn) and they will say yes.
And with intelligence like this, you no longer have to wonder why there are no more farmers...we are tired of working with government bureaucrats!

So Therrin, you see this barn as the container Shroedinger might keep his cat in, yes?
Blah Blah Blah. Shut up and open the damn door. "It's ok Officer, I watch a lot of cop shows on tv, so i am practically one of you guys." - sadly, that didn't work. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonno23/ All my photos suck.

Jonno, that's exactly how I see it!! Yes!! OMG you're amazingly smart and witty!

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

I'm familiar with the Schrodinger's cat theory, but I'm not familiar with all these runes and alchemic equations. I was going to say something like "oh maybe the barn is both there and not there and the only way to make sure is to just go there and find out", but I didn't think Schrödinger's equation which is an equation that describes how the quantum state of a physical system changes in time was exactly the same thing as Schrödinger's cat which is a thought experiment that illustrates what Schrödinger saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, which was the irregular behavior of subatomic particles when examined. Forgive my ignorance in quantum mechanics and theoretical physics, I'm just a small time country bumpkin that doesn't even understand how magnets work. And I don't trust no scientist 'cos they be lie'n and makin' me pissed.

Thanks for the affirmation. I need that sometimes.

But math is the language of science. By suggesting that you have a theory for the irregular behavior of subatomic particles when examined, you must take in such factors. If you can't define something mathematically, having a "theory" for it reduces you to the level of the regular at the local speakeasy.
That people can understand the bit with the cat is... Kind of a Windows "GUI" representation to people who grew up on DOS.
IE: 1+1=2, If I take one orange and put it with another orange, I now have two oranges.
Same difference.
(^^ This all relates to this barn, somehow, in my mind)
