Theory of Relativity bones to pick

[sid]

I'm saying the only thing you can't do without is distance, so that's what is ultimately being measured, just with extra layers on top. So if it was technically possible you could simply measure everything including temperature, energy and time, in distance (relative to another distance). Though of course it would be impossibly complicated to keep track of every particle.

Its actually physically impossible to measure those simultaneously, not just technically

I love the idea of having "bones to pick" with the theory of relativity. It's like an open letter of complaint to the universe.

Not if your god.

Not if your god.

He wouldnt need to messure anything. He would know excact values like a gigantic god like calculator

Distance/spatial position doesn't describe motion, and neither does it describe quantum effects – indeed it's not even well-defined in this case.

Well no, according to our understanding quantum mechanics, position and momentum (or velocity) cannot both have definite values. It's not just a question of whether we know them.

Rather, the position of a particle is described by a probability density over space, which in turn is described by a more general thing called a wave function.
