Trip: How many languages can you speak? Hoshi: That's not how it works. There are a lot of common patterns. I'm just good at hearing them, that's all.

I had to draw the scene from The Magnus Archives Episode 60 Observer Effect
I spent 11 hours on this according to Procreate

‘Hold a clear intention of what you want, but leave the “how” details to the unpredictable quantum field. Let it orchestrate an event in your life in a way that is just right for you. If you’re going to expect anything, expect the unexpected. Surrender, trust, and let go of how a desired event will unfold. This is the biggest hurdle for most to overcome, because we human beings always want to control a future reality by trying to recreate how it occurred in a past reality.’

Science no longer is in the position of observer of nature, but rather recognizes itself as part of the interplay between man and nature. The scientific method… changes and transforms its object: the procedure can no longer keep its distance from the object.
Werner Heisenberg (1901-1976) - Nobel laureate and quantum physicist

i have a sort of question! reading dune with my mom (i’ve read it like ten times, but it’s her first) and we came across this passage
“The prescience, he realized, was an illumination that incorporated the limits of what it revealed—at once a source of accuracy and meaningful error. A kind of Heisenberg indeterminacy intervened: the expenditure of energy that revealed what he saw, changed what he saw.”
so then i got curious and looked up the Heisenberg indeterminacy, which is apparently a fundamental concept in quantum mechanics. to put it short “the more accurately one property is measured, the less accurately the other property can be known.” (from wikipedia)
which is a perfect correlation with some of the ways FH describes prescience. however, then i scrolled down a bit further and read this passage
Historically, the uncertainty principle has been confused with a related effect in physics, called the observer effect, which notes that measurements of certain systems cannot be made without affecting the system, that is, without changing something in a system. Heisenberg used such an observer effect at the quantum level as a physical "explanation" of quantum uncertainty.
(i bolded and italicized words to hopefully make it easier to parse the blocks of text)
anyway. it sounds like frank either got the indeterminacy confused with the observer effect in this specific case, given the explanation at the end of the novel passage or im just confused. opinions?

What if quantum immortality, the observer effect, the multiverse, the Mandela effect, ghosts, missing 411, and reincarnation are all real and connected. What if we can *only* experience being alive? What if there have been mass extinctions that we as a species have experienced over and over again that we just don't remember because we can only experience consciousness? What if we're overdue for the Big One, supervolcanoes, and asteroid impacts because we're actually experiencing those things all the time, and when we "die," our consciousness just hops to a universe where we survived the incident?

Did this episode just imply that humans are the only species to invent the defibrillator?

Using a remote-controlled underwater 3D video camera, study author Andrea Asúnsolo Rivera, who conducted the research at the University of Western Australia, and her colleagues observed how mesopredators [meso = middle or intermediate] reacted when they experienced approaches from five different objects: a snorkeler, a life-size model of a blacktip reef shark, a replica of a non-threatening green turtle, a white PVC pipe, and a clear rectangle of acrylic.
The turtle, pipe, and acrylic shape went by barely noticed: most of the time, they elicited no response. But about 90 percent of fishes reacted with “antipredator behaviors” such as darting off or hiding when the fake shark came by, and a whopping 96 percent of them did so when met with the snorkeler.
Tumblr media
Recent research into how predators control environments suggests their presence has an effect on an ecosystem beyond preying on animals. The new study supports this idea: as long as the fishes are scared—whether the threat is real or not—they have less time to feed, compete for territory, and mate. In addition, if fishes are afraid when researchers are around, it may lead to biased observations about fish behavior or skewed population estimates.
Fish behavior in areas teeming with snorkelers might be fundamentally different, too, Asúnsolo Rivera says, although that hypothesis calls for more research. “Sometimes we forget that we are a predator, and we have the features of a predator,” she says. “We’re definitely going to cause a reaction, and we’re going to alter the behavior of a prey.”
While the headline’s attention grabbing takeaway that Humans Scare Fish More Than Sharks Do is technically true, the following abstract from the (freely available) actual study notes it’s not clear the difference was significant:
Both sharks and humans present a potentially lethal threat to mesopredatory fishes in coral reef systems, with implications for both population dynamics and the role of mesopredatory fishes in reef ecosystems. This study quantifies the antipredator behaviours mesopredatory fishes exhibit towards the presence of large coral reef carnivores and compares these behavioural responses to those elicited by the presence of snorkelers.
Here, we used snorkelers and animated life‐size models of the blacktip reef shark (Carcharhinus melanopterus) to simulate potential predatory threats to mesopredatory reef fishes (lethrinids, lutjanids, haemulids and serranids). The responses of these reef fishes to the models and the snorkelers were compared to those generated by three non‐threatening controls (life‐size models of a green turtle [Chelonia mydas], a PVC‐pipe [an object control] and a Perspex shape [a second object control]). A Remote Underwater Stereo‐Video System (Stereo‐RUV) recorded the approach of the different treatments and controls and allowed accurate measurement of Flight Initiation Distance (FID) and categorization of the type of flight response by fishes.
We found that mesopredatory reef fishes had greater FIDs in response to the approach of threatening models (1402 ± 402–1533 ± 171 mm; mean ± SE) compared to the controls (706 ± 151–896 ± 8963 mm). There was no significant difference in FID of mesopredatory fishes between the shark model and the snorkeler, suggesting that these treatments provoked similar levels of predator avoidance behaviour.
This has implications for researchers monitoring behaviour in situ or using underwater census as a technique to estimate the abundance of reef fishes. Our study suggests that, irrespective of the degree to which sharks actually consume these mesopredatory reef fishes, they still elicit a predictable and consistent antipredator response that has the potential to create risk effects.

The other day, I was showing some Enterprise to a non-Trekkie friend, and their assessment of Archer was as Space Dad. I don't know how to feel about this.
