Do Physicists Have The Answer?

Ideas for blog topics have a broad range of selections. This one came from my experience, prodded by the use of an e-mail that gave access to the events of about 100 years at the click of a button.

As a birthday card, I printed the events and stats of a friend who was born in 1927. The details contained a message that Werner Heisenberg, a 26-year-old physicist of Germany, produced a product he named the "Uncertainty Principle."

To tie this together, I drew up the following for the years:          

I chose 2000, as I then hoped to carry out Ross Perot's fight against the great sucking sound he predicted earlier, as I tried to get the Reform Party nomination for presidency. I had an early blog regarding QE, Quantitative Easing, so now I offer the new equation to get up to date after I listened to all the Sunday talk shows. 

The title will now be:  QE plus MMM, Money Market Mischief, plus Quantum Mechanics equal Uncertainty Principle and Chaos.

In Quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states precise inequalities that constrain certain pairs of physical properties, such as measuring the present position while determining future momentum; both cannot be simultaneously done to arbitrarily high precision. That is, the more precisely one property is measured, the less precisely the other can be controlled or determined. 

On the other hand, it is possible to imagine a hypothetical apparatus that measures the history of a particular particle's successive positions and momentums while measuring times and energies to arbitrary accuracies.  Add that to Einstein's theory of relativity, perhaps we  should use the study of these great physicists' theories in the solution of our coming financial problems.

One of our weaknesses shows that while we only seem to recognize the national debt of say $14 trillion, we also have an unfunded liability of more than $100 trillion in the foreseeable future, plus ever-growing interest on the various debts, i.e. $14 trillion at just 2 percent would be $280 billion in interest costs alone per year.

To me, this says we cannot escape the circumstances which will result.  Especially if you will excuse my note book calculations that if we pay off the debt at the rate of $1 million per month in a period from the birth of Jesus, it will take more than 2,000 years to pay the accepted debt, but it will take $1 million per day over the same period to catch up with the unfunded liabilities.

So this is my conclusion after watching this week in the news and discussion.  What do you think?
