Has learning Latin got to do with quantum physics?

'Quantum' is a latin word meaning 'how much'/'how many'.
It's the word 'quantity' is derived from, I'd guess.
( RiffRaff "Board Sig"? What's that?... Oh, I see...., Thu 17 May 2007, 9:31, archived)

It's also where Quantum is derived from
as a modern word. Levels of probability.
( Afinkawan, Thu 17 May 2007, 9:36, archived)

My apologies.
I thought this was about quantum position probability densities, rather than just Latin per se.

*queues for Brownian Motion dodgems*
( Afinkawan, Thu 17 May 2007, 9:19, archived)

my physics teacher at school
used to talk about Brownian motion by singing it to the tune of Brown Girl in the Ring by Boney M

"Brownian Motion - tralalalala"
( Griffy Savalas Become her drillosaur, Thu 17 May 2007, 9:22, archived)

Our drunk teacher
used to do it to the tune of The Locomotion.

Mind you, the Brownian Motion is a cracking good dance when you haven't actually got a mosh pit handy.

Yeah technically it's be 100% everywhere with the quantum possiblity for being nowhere at the same time.

Actually
you'd have a probability cloud of location covering the whole theme park. It would theoretically be possible to tell where you were at any given time, but you'd have no idea which ride you were going on next.

the more sure about which ride you are on
the less sure how fast it's going, and vice versa.
