[Vo]:A Note on 'significance'

A note on 'significance'. There is an important rift between the social sciences and the hard sciences, wrt what is 'significant'. In the social sciences 'significance' is quite relaxed. Eg in drug-testing the bare 'evidence' of some effect to be above chance-level is considered 'significant',

Boltzmann, Planck, Heisenberg. What is the common theme? Well. Uncertainty. Schroedinger's cat  is maybe the culmination of this way of thinking. The effect just does not instantiate, until YOU look at it. To ultimately resolve the riddle is akin to blasphemy, it seems. Is it 'god' versus the

Thanks all. The reciprocal units are confusing to me. We usedreciprocal units in a solid state physics course to plot the velocity of phonons in a solid. The plot looked like a U. Its slope was the speed of the phonons. It was also confusing. The constant is a velocity. I believe it
