We now have a process for that.MangoJ said:

Can’t Hack Marriage? Try Quantum Entanglement Instead
Given entanglement’s seemingly limitless possibility, Keats is prepared to quantum-marry more than just humans, for those who want to wed their shiny new iPads or whatever else commands their hearts and minds.
“I’m now undertaking experiments entangling champagne,” Keats said, “which people will be able to drink, absorbing the entangled bubbles to become entangled in their own right.”

Also, we can quantum entangle across time -
Have you ever seen "What the Bleep!?" I feel as though this movie is an example of what I'm talking about. Analogies are helpful in explaining certain fundamental principles of nature; however suggesting that these fundamental principles actually influence phenomenon such as cards being dealt or balls falling on black or red is disingenuous at best (assuming you understand whats actually going on). Wave function collapse does not mean I can be in two places at once, nor does it suggest a dealer will simultaneous give me a 10, two 10's, and no 10's. (just read the article before I edited, coincidentally I used the same example as the paper you linked) Besides as wikipedia will tell you wave function collapse is not exactly a fully understood phenomenon, nor do scientists agree that it actually occurs as some in the community would suggest. The idea that our observation with an outcome in mind will shape the outcome in the desired fashion is not science. What is your definition of luck?Gamblor said:

But it doesn't, though. zgbig Inner said:
Well sir! We are faced with an insolvable argument from definition. Seriously I have no qualms about math, but with an evaluation of "luck" as defined by the original post, we are not talking about the same thing. You are talking about math and I'm talking about subjective value imposed on mathematics.zengrifter said:

Haven't seen it but understand your position and worldview, but don't necessarily agree its correct.big Inner said:
Pauli was known for the "Pauli effect", whereby as he was a theoretical physicist, whenever he was anywhere near a device used by physicists, it was known to mysteriously break. Pauli was a big believer in this effect and was delighted whenever it occurred. He was also a big believer in synchronicity, parapsychology, etc., surely more "mystical" non-sense.
Bohr was also flat out mystical, to get an understanding on his thinking, here is some quotes:
"A physicist is just an atom's way of looking at itself"
"Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real"
"It is wrong to think that the task of physics is to find out how Nature is. Physics concerns what we say about Nature"
(Now did he make huge contributions to QM because he had this kind of mentality, or did he develop this mentality because of QM is an interesting question)
You used the words "imagination" and "reality", in a derogatory way against "imagination". I pointed out the poem by Stevens, as its an interesting meditation on the nature of the relationship of he would call "imagination" (what we might call mind or perception of reality) and "reality". Not so easy to untangle where one ends and one begins.

snidely whiplash
talkin bout ev and results with Machinist a couple of times he told me i just got a loan, the result was way more than my ev. don't spend that money he tells me, it's just a loan.
hmmm, a loan, value that the lender is gonna call back on yah, errhhh with interest.
so how about that take, far as luck, an interest free loan, good luck and then when snidely calls the loan on you, bad luck.

I agree with that first quote. Taking a semester of Hume and then Wittgenstein has left me quite ambivalent towards these philosophical quandaries. I feel as though our minds have developed to associate one thing with another, despite the fact that our ability to truly determine whether or not they correspond in nonexistent. Regularity has helped us survive on Earth, but that does not mean that the laws of nature are necessarily regular. We may see patterns where there are none. I believe this is called apophenia. Nature may be a grand construct or it may be chaos, or both, but we must remain agnostic in our judgments.Gamblor said:

It is both, not either or. Ever been on a 'grand construction site'? It is both, chaotic and structured.big Inner said:
No, you re trying to give an opinion on the state of things and the point is, whether it's either or, or both it doesn't matter because we are incapable of being able to objectively say anything about it. I edited the post to include your position, but it doesn't change the weight of the thing either way.gamblingghost said:

Oh my.... I hear that said about me often!!aslan said:
Don't ask him 'why' he is doing it that way, "There's method in his madness!!" So, I think there is 'structure' and inside this structure there is 'pockets' of chaos. This is as it
should be and is 'planned' that way for a reason. Now, if you would just tell me what the reason is I would know the answer to 'the question'!
