Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.
In this intercession of Our Lady a lot of the focus, as far as scientific matters are concerned,
is on Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and its consequences. An important supposed implication of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
is as follows:
If we fire electrons from an electron gun at a wall, the present interpretation of the physicists is, that we
must apply a probability that some of the electrons may come out of the gun, do a u-turn and come back at 180 degrees.
This is
denied by Our Lady in the book, as She says the limit is 90 degrees. She says plainly that the quantum theory of physics, which arose
out of this interpretation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, is wrong. Our Lady says the quantum theory is holding back the progress
of physics. The book describes this in greater detail.
Also the correct interpretation of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle
implies that Darwin's theory of evolution is wrong. God is in charge of evolution - is stated in the book.
Bayes' Theorem.
Another
interesting scientific matter in the book is the analysis of Bayes' theorem in statistics.
If we do not know the value, between
zero and one, of some item in statistics, can we apply a uniform distribution? Some statisticians would apply a Beta distribution
- see below.
Our Lady says neither of these is satisfactory. The only thing we know, in this situation, is that, of the distributions we could
apply, most would have a mean ( or average ) of about 0.5. Bayes' theorem is a source of argument among mathematicians.
In any
case Our Lady has reserve about Bayes' theorem depending on how it is applied.
It is interesting, that a perhaps over simplified
use of Bayes' theorem would give the 90 degree limit for the electron gun problem described above.
Remember, there is a
special intercessionary blessing of Our Lady for anyone who reads carefully through this entire website.
