  Good question! You are certainly not dense!

  The position-momentum uncertainty relationship is just a specific case of a more general relationship. There are other uncertainty relationships, such as between time and energy or between two (separate/orthogonal) components of angular velocity. The relationships basically state that whenever you measure one of the two values, you are required to add uncertainty to the other.

  Unfortunately, this is kinda where my knowledge on the subject starts to hit its limits. As for spin, it has a lot of effects on the energy of the system it’s involved with, so I believe the energy-time or angular momentum exclusion principles would apply there.

  What I mean to say is that the detector is not what’s changing the particle; It’s the process of learning about an aspect of the quantum system that forces it into one state or another (at least from our own personal perspectives).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not supposed to make sense...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorta! According to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, there’s an upper limit to how much we can “know” about the given state of a particle. This isn’t an issue with our measurements, but a fundamental property of the universe itself. By measuring one aspect of a quantum system (for example, the momentum of a particle), we become less certain about other aspects of the system, even if we had already measured them before (such as the position of the same particle).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not supposed to make sense...⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not exactly. Quantum physics applies no matter how you measure it. The double-slit experiment is an example of this: Photons moving through two slits will form a wave interference pattern on a detector plate, even though the detector doesn’t affect the position of the photons beforehand.

  It’s more like: when you become aware of the results of a quantum measurement, you yourself become a part of the quantum system, and being a part of the system requires measurements to have real values. Whether you should interpret this as a wave-function collapse or branching into multiple parallel universes is up for debate though.

  I’ve actually messed with this a bit. The problem is more that it can’t count to begin with. If you ask it to spell out each letter individually (ie each letter will be its own token), it still gets the count wrong.

  My first playthrough of Half Life 2, I bailed from the boat when it got stuck on the wall in a section with lots of guns. I continued on foot through two more loading zones until I reached a section that required the boat to progress, so I walked all the way back to get it lol

  For anyone wondering why they would need to see polarized light: I looked actually into this a few months ago!

  Other animals that are trying to blend in with the environment often use countershading appear less conspicuous. The problem with this is that this method can’t replicate the polarization of the light behind them, making them stand out if you can see that sort of thing. ((Sunlight in the ocean is always polarized based on the direction of the sun (look up fresnel equations for s and p polarized light))). Even transparent creatures will interrupt the polarization in some way, so this is a very useful skill to have.

  There are a lot of steps in converting color spaces to suit people’s individual monitors and in compressing files to be stored on web servers.

  Sometimes rounding errors happen. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

  Actually, every donut has a corresponding donut hole somewhere in the world, which holds the center of mass. This property of disconnection between a donut and its CoM has many interesting applications.

  Sometimes a lack of empathy can be due to a hormonal imbalance. You might benefit from some kind of hormonal therapy, if that’s something you want to bring up with a doctor.

  One of my close friends was affected by something like that
