Quantum Test Found For Mathematical Undecidability

KentuckyFC writes "Philosophers have long wondered at the profound link between mathematics and physics, but how deep does this connection go? Pretty deep according to the results of a quantum experiment exploring the nature of mathematical undecidability. Here's how: any logical system must be based on axioms, which are propositions that are defined to be true. A proposition is logically independent from these axioms if it can neither be proved nor disproved from them; mathematicians say it is undecidable. In the experiment, researchers encoded a set of axioms as quantum states. A particular measurement on this system can then be thought of as a proposition which, if undecidable, yields a random result — which is what they found. 'This sheds new light on the (mathematical) origin of quantum randomness in these measurements,' say the re

THE BAN ON SAME-SEX: BLACKS ARE TO BLAME

With the frenzy over Barack Obama winning the Presidency still fevered, there's another issue that's heavy on the minds of many: The success of California's Proposition 8. And believe it or not, some anti-8 Whites blame Blacks for the outcome. As you know, the majority of Californians voted to ban same-sex marriage in their state on November 4. And for many the fight to repeal is just beginnning. However, many Whites can't understand why so many black Californians voted in favor of the ban. The ban denies the gay community their civil rights and the black community, historically, have been proponets of civil and human equality. Well, apparently not this one. I can take a wild guess on why blacks didn't oppose the ban: homophobia and same-sex lifestyles is still believed to be an experience exclusive to Whites.
