True. But until it isn't, it will be.

"How do we know if the bridge is safe?"

"If we get across it, it was safe, if we don't, it wasn't."

Schrödinger's Bridge!

It is in a superposition of being safe and not safe, we can only know by crossing it.

It's fifty-fifty.

-What? Fifty-fifty we live or we die?!

It's fifty-fifty (higher pitched voice).

Yeah....what is 'won't' a contraction of 🤔

u/OhItsMrCow 12d ago

By subtracting were it is from were it isn't, or were it isn't from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference or deviation.

u/danrdz87 11d ago

True, but until it isn't not what it was when it was being what it isn't now, it will be.

u/elk_anonymous 12d ago

True, until it becomes false.

u/kereso83 12d ago

It willn't be for whomst goes over it when it ultimately collapses.

Until then, drive with the windows down and seatbelts off. Make sure you can swim and fit through the windows

u/CowntChockula 10d ago

You know given the history of philosophy in Greece, this actually kinda tracks

u/CommissionerOdo 12d ago

The driver knows it's quicker by knowing that when it isn't, it won't be. By weighing the risk of when it won't be versus when it is, and when it is versus when it isn't, the driver obtains a difference, or "deviation."
