    The basic idea of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is that in order to measure a thing, you have to hit it with something else--usually light. And the second you do that, you change all of the things you were trying to measure.

    Moreover, light can behave like both a particle and a wave, but you can only measure one of those things at a time. So, if you've bounced some light off of a particle in order to measure it, and you want to get the information back from that particle, you measure the photon--but if you measure the photon like a particle, you lose all the information you'd get if you measured it like a wave, and vice-versa.

    Basically, what it means is that there's no way to get complete data on anything that you observe, because the second you observe it, you change all the conditions you were trying to measure.

    @braak: You are, as usual, completely correct.: So in gawker terms, its like how I want to measure how gay Tom Cruise really is. But in order to do so I would have to tear off the closet door and shine the bright light of truth in. But having done that his gayness takes on a whole different aspect tainted by being out. Meaning I can never really measure his gayness as it stands today?

    @snugbug: Airplanes don't fall out of the sky because they have wings and engines. When the airplane moves forward, air passing over the wing has to take a longer route than air passing under the wing, and so air pressure is less above than it is below. This pressure pushes the airplane up into the air. The faster the airplane goes, the more upward lift it gets from smaller wingspace.

    I think that unemployment leads to inflation due to supply-and-demand pricing. When everyone is making money, you can charge slightly more for your product, and consequently pay people more money. When lots of people are unemployed, you have to charge less for your product in order to sell anything, and you don't make that up in volume sales--so, the value of your product goes down, AND you make less money selling it. This means you have to fire the people that work for you because you can't pay them, so they have less money to buy things, which drives the value of everything down.

    @Cheruth: Essentially, that is correct. Though it might be more helpful to think of it like this: Tom Cruise is in the closet, and you can shine a blacklight in there and see all of the semen stains all over his partner--thus knowing for certain that he's getting it on with men--but you can't tell who his partner is--OR, you can shine a regular light in there and see who his partner is, but not any of the semen stains.

    The Uncertainty Principle states that you can observe either that he's doing it with guys, or you can observe which guys, but you can't observe both at once.

    Hell, you didn't need insipid gossip obsessions to tell you that nearly every woman dives into SOME sort of seafood right after having to avoid it for 40 weeks. You could have reasonably guessed that Kardashian went right for it without our culture having to be all fucked up for confirming it.

    For me, it was shellfish. That and coffee...oh man, I NEEDED my latte.

    What is the point of transferring custody at age 17? Won't she be a legal adult in roughly 9 months. Wouldn't normal people just call this "crashing with grandma?"

    But, whatever, Frances Bean will be at Sarah Lawernce or Weslynan or William and Mary or wherever next year and this will all be a non event.

    @BankerHardcore: The only thing that would make sense to me is if Courtney needs to declare bankruptcy to get out of some bad debts/investments but the trust income to take care of Frances spills out just slightly too much for the bankruptcy court to accept a settlement so Courtney, Frances and Kurt's mom all need Frances to be legally with grandma for Courtney to get a decent bankruptcy settlement.

    It wouldn't surprise me at all if Courtney made some really bad investment decisions that bit her in the ass that she now needs to get away from.

Seems like odd timing for Francis to now want to be a legal ward of grandma in that perhaps she didn't want to be forced into a caretaker role.
