    It finally falls! That most unscientific of all principals is now proved wrong by IBM. Sorry about being so blunt but this is the upshot of what the discovery is. Yes you can know the energy level, the spin and the location at the same time. I know how upset the physics guys who banked their life on the idiot Nazis warped unscientific thinking but Heisenberg was WRONG!

    Why do I call it unscientific? Simple~! The reason for science is that you believe you can if method and learning advance sufficiently obtain any information in the universe. Do I need to state that saying you cannot obtain some information is Unscientific?
