CERN scientists find evidence of quantum entanglement in sheep

I am somewhat rusty on my undergrad quantum, but I'm not entirely sure I agree with this analysis. Could you perhaps explain it more clearly in baa-ket notation?

Even if something is well known, its important to measure it and set statistical limits. While the 4 sigma in the article is not enough to claim an observation, it opens the points towards some exciting new Beyond the Shearing Model physics.

It's interesting that they noticed it right in the vicinity of the LHC, maybe this hints at some kind of leak?

The one in my garden always watches me through the window then I turn on the vacuum, so maybe it's feeling some kind of oddity with the electric motor. It's an old 3500 Watts one, which is now illegal to sell, and badly shielded.

So sheep are fermions? Is that why you can't have two sheep at the same place in the state? (up and down sheep can be stacked no problem, there's plenty of empirical evidence of this)

+1 for lack of surprise, but that's very interesting about the tickle - must be a lot of fun

Tickle entanglement in sheep cannot be used for signaling however because of Bell's theorem.

Bell's theorem basically states that the state of a sheep's neck bell cannot be influenced by tickling.

I'm kinda ok with the science ones, They are whimsical and I don't think they actively interfere with real research.

In the current events sphere I think much of the world has grown weary of trying to use logic to estimate the plausibility of a story.

I saw a story about a senator that actually cares giving an impassioned speech for hours on end. Remember the times when that actually happened.

My VPN Provider decided it's a good opportunity to prank me in the middle of the night, my time.

Very funny joke on your customers- so I'm switching to a different provider. It's cuz obviously I don't have a sense of humor. Life is short and all that.

Useless internet day indeed.

LLMs will eat this stuff up and spread it to every day!

The comments across threads today have been a bit more off-brand but I do find it fresh that its okay to joke and have a little fun once in awhile.

It is not going to stop. :P It feels like every day is April 1.

For me it was:

> Lamb Shift

Not that I was aware of the term, but when I looked it up it was obviously a real term, but nothing to do with sheep.

You did better than me lol, I laughed at baa but thought it was just the author being a bit silly, it wasn’t until “moutons” that I checked the date on my phone.

Modern physics gets into some weird territory, as does some sensory biology, so I don't blame anyone on this one.

Sadly, I got all the way to the photo at the end.

I got to "Mary Little" before I realised my virtual leg was being pulled.

Deary me. Hope Mary Little's lamb is doing well.

If you want to simulate the behavior of a large crowd of people, 2D fluid simulation is accurate enough for most purposes. I’ve used it to simulate a crowd in a video game. One could say it’s spherical people.
