It's impossible to know, as you would change the outcome by measuring it.
We have an anthropologist in the audience!
Or possibly a theoretical physicist. Although if I'm being honest, neither of the above.

How long is a piece of string?

Is Davy an anthropologist, or the ghost of Erwin Schrodinger? And would it make a difference to the length?

Did anyone watch that program on BBC called How Long is a Piece of String?
One answer is infinite, the closer you look the longer it gets.
Or piece of string has no length until you measure it.
Not a bad programme, funny in places, but a little dumbed down.

Wow I didn't think anyone could posibly give a useful answer to that question and therefore the thread would have to be closed by the mods! You learn something new every day.I was racking my brains trying to remember the point to the opening question...

Presumably the longer the cat plays with it, the shorter the string will be by the time Davy measures it.Posted 1 year ago # -
