The quantum (or Heisenberg?) uncertainty principle is actually quite straightforward. As you use higher and higher frequencies of waves to scan smaller and smaller masses, you throw more and more energy in those waves, knocking those masses harder and harder... so by knowing their positions you push things out of these positions.
I heard of a guy who tried to battle a speeding charge using this principle. His theory was that the radio waves from the radar gun accelerated his car, causing further waves to have offset readings.

That was a poor attempt at technobabble.
You put what in my Power Mac?
Its like what happens when you cross a phoenix with a super black hole; it's powerful enough to destroy itself, only to be reborn in a vicious cycle of torment and pain. Or in this case, nonsense.
-Avatara, on the life cycle of ATT.
Dude, imagine Redline Trash Talk; the unholy spawn of B&B and ATT.

Technobabble...I knew someone with the sn technobabble something or other...I can't remember who or where though. Technobabble is generally rapping something simple in overly complicated words. Or just stating something complicated as it is instead of simplifying it.

Ouch. Essentially, it's used to make stuff seem reasonable. Dilithium crystals, maybe?

Technobabble is, basically, a somewhat blurred attempt at conveying a message or explaining a certain phenomenon as it relates to a key event in such a way that the reader or listener of the message begins to submit to the speaker's apparent grasp of a concept or topic that they find too complicated or overwhelming to understand themselves.
I hope your post was also purposefully ironic, TheLoser...

The word Technobabble makes me think of that song "Technologic".

I can imagine it would, trying to make something linear out of that wierd trig function.

A Laguna sighting just means more sanity and the blunt force to support it. The former doesn't worry me.
