My vague relollection of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle is that you can know with absolute certainty what a particle's position is or you can know with absolute certainty what a particle's velocity is or you can know with 50% certainty what they both are. And you can never know 100% about both. Stated succinctly, the more accurately you try to measure an object the more you disturb it. Think of a dial caliper as a giant c-clamp. It's pretty philosophical when you think about it. Thanks, I'll look for Chown's book, sounds interesting.

koan, Thanks. I've added that book to my next Amazon order. It looks like a good read for 20 clownbucks. Besides, I've got to spend em before Bennie does <g> I think having an awareness that your reality is flawed is pretty sophisticated in itself. And, knowing your limits is one of the keys to wisdom. Agreed. GT TH
