The Heisenberg Uncertainty principle...

I am studying for my Lasers exam. Of course I am finding ways to digress. Just read about the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle... the moment you measure something you change it.. the obvious philosophical extension of this is that the moment you experience something/judge something, you have changed it? Can this be right? Let's see... I moved to Charleston. While there, I experienced the place and measured my response to the place. I moved away from Charleston. Did I change it in any way? May be I did. For sure I left an ecological footprint. I may have even influenced my former employers to be more circumspect about how they handle foreign nationals. I may even have made a nano-scale impact on the lives of some of the people there - like my Capoeira brethren.

State College? I know I made an impact here! For one, I impacted the lives of the students that I taught. I either made labs a pleasant, educational experience or I was that crazy Indian female engineer who drove them nuts. Good or bad, its an impact. How about the fact that my former advisor has been completely turned off on MS students because of what he perceives as my disloyal act? Bad impact for him, I think. Good decision for my life.

Hmm... as the time to leave draws nigh, its time to introspect a little and measure what I need to rectify in the future. For sure, I need to have more faith in myself and not overthink things. For sure I need to stand up for myself in trying situations and not accept a substandard situation as the status quo. Being proactive will only benefit you. Guess the more you measure, the more you change.

Yeah, I guess I love trite philosophies. Sort of my own personal Scrubs going on here. I love to hate that show!! I find the people that worship that show extremely interesting to observe. Generally, I find them copying a lot of the jokes from the show, which I think is an extremely observer friendly phenomenon. It makes me laugh. I think I judge them. But then again, that's the bitch, I seem to soliloquizing myself, so I guess I judge myself too!!

Need to get back to the second postulate of Quantum mechanics... null operators and crap...
