Madoff moment

When you realize that all the money you had been socking away into investments, has already been spent by someone else. Also, that you would have been better off to have spent it all on really dumb stuff like a Corvette, motorcycles, boats, all sorts of big-boy toys; now all you have is basically, nothing.
I just retired and looked at my investments and had my Madoff moment.

quantum reality

The principal features of quantum theory contradict "cause and effect" relationships (relativity) by assuming that random, spontaneous events can and do occur within a quantified limit (specified by the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle). Therefore, a future event (or non-event) has both a multiple probability (statistical) and a quantum probability of 50/50 that is not predictable.

As the observer is outside the event horizon, there exists two realities; that is , a state of existing (or being) and that of not existing.

Just as it may be that one dies, one does not "know" when one dies; the quantum state would be both dead and alive while the relative state would be dead or alive.

An again, reality is based on the perceptive analysis of the observer; at any given time the observer is outside the event horizon and is in the present or the past.

However, there is an relativistic assumption that there exists a continuum for all sets, but this cannot be made from a quantum state.
Quantum reality transmutates the objective into the subjective, and the phyical into the metaphysical.

switchcraft

The art of word fumble, then recovery.
"Obviously, we gotta stand with our North Korean allies," "And we're also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes," Got to admit that is pretty good switchcraft.

econobabble

New self-coined word used to describe the self proclaimed wisdom of all the present day pseudo-economists. They have 100 bogus reasons for what just happened, and just as many for what didn't happen. Kind of like watching sports announcers, during a game, hamming up the leading team and acting like they knew what was going to happen all the time--when they didn't have a clue.
I get so tired of reading all the so-called "experts" on the economy, when in reality it is all just econobabble.
