Warring States FPW

Yes, I recently stumbled across that page of yours and was admiring it mightily :) As both its caretaker and the user who made it redundant to Tardis, I see the Faction Paradox Wiki as the giant, free-for-all sandbox where we can more beautifully cover the aspects of the Faction Paradox universe that grate against TW's conventions, eg my shot-down merger of Interference - Book One and Interference - Book Two into Interference (novel), or the finer points of who exactly left Carmen Yeh on that ElleryCorp shipping vessel. So by all means, the inventive timeline trickery of User:Najawin/Sandbox 4 would have a welcome home over at the Faction Paradox Wiki! – N8 (☎/👁️) 02:27, September 12, 2020 (UTC)

Quantum Mechanics for Audio Story Editing

Hey Najawin, hope you're keeping well! I just finished listening to the audio story Ghost Walk. There's actually a bit of quantum mechanics involved in the story. Nothing crazy, but I made a little explanation in the "Notes" section explaining the differences between its use in the story and its actual definition in real life (they involve time in it to a certain degree but not in a sensible way). I was wondering if you could give it a quick check to make sure it's publishable in case an admin comes along and is confused by it, as I'm sure you have more experience with that sort of stuff than I do.

I see. I would have to play the audio back and give you the exact lines to work with but from what I understood, they were trying to use the analogy that "the more certain/exact a point in time they try to reach, the less likely they are to reach it" I believe was what was thrown in the story. The story, unfortunately, never explicitly states that it is comparing it the the uncertainty principle, it just seemed to be implied. I will have a look at those Pre-narrative Briefings (short story) as soon as possible, thank you for providing them.

In terms of the time-energy uncertainty relation, I only mention it because in the story, they apply the "abstract" understanding of the Uncertainty principle, in other words, the popular "misconception" and erroneously apply it to time. However, debates on "time-energy" uncertainty aside (thank you for providing those articles, will make for some nice reading this weekend), I only brought it up to explain that time in non-relativistic QM is not thought of or treated the same way as position and momentum in Heisneberg's Uncertainty Principle, as the story erroneously does. So I thought it would be a good idea to explain the "actual" "uncertainty relation", namely the one provided in non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics, at least according to my NRQM textbook (Townsend, A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics, 2nd Edt). I will edit it up and reply to your talkpage tomorrow to see if I have properly fixed up the section. Thank you again for all your help. DoctorQuoi ☎ 06:10, September 15, 2020 (UTC)DoctorQuoi
