i've worked with carver mead. very interesting man. 90% of what he comes up with is complete and utter crap, but the 10% that isn't can be quite amazing.

Hm. When Einstein said "God does not play dice", he was not referring not to precision or its lack thereof. To what were you referring when you used the word "precision" in response to my comment about "uncertainty"? You don't know. Einstein's basic point was that unpredictability does not mean intrinsic uncertainty. Einstein never made any comment about "unpredictability". Measurements of quantum quantities are reliably predictable as Einstein knew. Einstein believed that science would always resolve in ontology rather than epistemology. Thus, he felt uncertainty in measurement would be resolved by "hidden variables" in the broader sense that there's a finer level of reality than the atomic scale which so strongly favors the uncertainty principle, rather than in the relativism of how we observe things. You might find Carver Mead's "Collective Electrodynamics" very interesting. Since you didn't understand a word of my previous post, it really is silly of you to try to present Mead's comments, none of which disagree with what I posted. The words I posted represent a finer knowledge than what Mead knows, and it would take the best theoretical physicists to get the humor in them.
