Brought to you by someone who thinks race is “biologically valid”

including “indigo”. Seriously? I am colourblind, even I know that’s bullshit.

Okay, explain to me what the standard deviation of time is. I will pre-empt nonsense, just “time”, not just time in reference to the duration of a finite process. It must be abstract and universal, like the position-momentum case.

A reasonable approach, but melting is a phase transition. It’s a collective behaviour. What the experiment shows is that quantum phenomena happen fast enough to make thermodynamics a bit strange. Probably because it is formulated in terms of continuous maths and atoms are discrete.

Did you read it?

Energy-time relations have no link to the uncertainty principle. They apply to classical cameras for instance. There are no “energy fluctuations”, you cannot magically get energy from nothing as long as you give it back quickly, like some kind of loan.

This is because the energy-time relation works for particular kinds of time, like lifetime of excitations or shutter times on cameras. Not just any time coordinate value.

Edit: down votes from the scientifically illiterate are fun. Let’s not listen to a domain expert, let’s quote wiki and wallow in collective ignorance.
