Yes, if we are talking about the quantum level. Normally at the macroscopic level something can appear to be 1 or 0, however at quantum levels there is superposition and entanglement so it can be 1 or 0, both or neither.
Think of it like a coin. At macroscopic level you can see it as one face - heads or tails. At the quantum level the coin can be heads, tails, both or none as if it was perpetually spinning at infinite speed. |
Nice analogy. Following on from that taking a high speed photo of the spinning coin seems to resolve the heads/tails question without really achieving anything ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Think about the fact that when you look up at the stars, you're not looking at them in real time, you're looking at them as they were billions of years ago as that's how long it's taken their light to reach us. |
The principle is right, the timescales are way off. All of the individual stars you can see are in our galaxy, and without a good, large aperture telescope, you're only going to be seeing stars down to a magnitude of 6.5. The furthest one you're going to see is around 4000 light years distant which means you would be looking at it as it was 4000 years ago.
On a grander scale, the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies can be seen with the naked eye with suitably dark skies and they are approximately 2.5 million and 2.7 million light years distant so you're seeing them as they were 2.5 and 2.7 million years ago respectively.
Fat Angry Scotsman wrote: | Think of it on the grander cosmic scale that the actual universe is bigger than the universe we can observe as the galaxies we observe now have moved and expanded in the hundreds of billions of years that it's taken for their light to reach us and that it is literally impossible for humanity to ever reach them because the distance they have travelled is so great that even if humanity could travel at the speed of light, the time taken to reach them would be so great that all the thermodynamic free energy in the universe would already be expired. |
The observable limit of the universe is some 46 billion light years so the most distant objects we could see would be as they were 46 billion years ago. The universe itself has expanded to a size reckoned to be some 90 billion light years in diameter. The expansion is not restricted by the speed of light - that only applies to objects within the universe, not the universe itself.
Fat Angry Scotsman wrote: | Think that in billions of years from now, humanity (if it exists) will not be able to observe the cosmic background radiation and that to them the combined Milky Way and Andromeda super-galaxy will seem like the only thing in the entire universe. |
Plus any other galaxies in the cosmic neighbourhood that succumb to gravitational attraction. The Andromeda galaxy will combine (collide gives the wrong idea) with us in around 4.5 billion years, just as the Sun is in it's final death throes.

In the fullness of time and in the face of the universe we are nothing. As a human our life is extremely short, not even a blink in time. Makes you think why do we fight and argue with each other when our time is absolutely precious and as it is your one and only life you should be fucking living it. |
Amen to that! |
