This is some truly fine reporting, North Korean-style. https://t.co/T7vTR0p3BQ

(Ah, here’s what I was looking for.)
So, to summarize, the PM went to a place and learned about a thing. During the speech that followed, he excitedly suggested he wanted to talk about the thing he just learned. A reporter was disinterested in playing along, and tried to ask a more relevant question, but Trudeau ignored him and launched into what was clearly a pre-prepared treatise on the thing.
Whoopie. Next he will be comparing himself to Einstein. He knows about as much quantum theory as he knows about governing. Can we boot Onteriowe out? Hey turdoo,what does P=vi mean?
He’s probably been binge watching THe Big Bang Theory…
Wave and particle at the same time; unlike the Baltic states which don’t exist.
Perhaps he should pursue a career as a physicist. Maybe then he would leave us alone.
Wonder how many holes-in-one he has and how many operas he’s composed.
This from the same person who talked about about reciting Pi to the 19th decibel.
Yep, a real math genius.

Maybe his staff reads this comment section and saw what we say of him and saw that I call him Justimbecile Trudeau?
They felt they needed to (over) compensate…haha!
I believe it’s a case of it doesn’t take much to impress journalists.
I have no idea how intelligent Trudeau is because this example, that each side will promote or attack, means absolutely nothing. It really just measures the partisanship quotient (PQ?) of the reader. It’s click bait. Shit disturbing 101.
I would support a policy that does measure that intelligence of candidates because, frankly, some of them seem awfully dim. Not just IQ because some of the most academically intelligent people I’ve worked with were useless in high pressure situation or understanding that there are consequences to actions. “You expect the operating staff to do what. Good luck with that. ” “Your calculations are great but the integrated system is much more complicated. You’re going to create other, bigger problems. My peeves about politicians are strikingly similar.
Coyne used to be the national editor at Macleans. He obviously doesn’t mind taking shots at his old employer.
In this case it seems warranted.
I read this this morning in the Star and had a good laugh.
Physicists that don’t understand that a basic understanding of Quantum Theory is well within the capability of those of average intelligence.
vs. Reporters who are,with rare exception, the stupidest people on the planet.
Nice try MSM. What we do know is that he has taxpayer-paid intelligent research and briefing staff, who are trying to re-brand him to look like he is not just an airhead. Sorry, won’t work for anyone except the low-info voters and celebrity and selfie-seekers. Geek? Give me a break!
Who needs a caption, the irony of this cartoon speaks for itself.
To repeat others – he watches The Big Bang Theory – apparently physicists to not nor does the press. I recognize his vast knowledge of physics from that comedy.
All communist dictators get such praise in the press. His uncle Mao used to go for long swims every year at 80. The personal achievements of the Kim family in North Korea are legendary. Even Putin has press fawning over his physical feats.
So I take it Trudeau’s Potemkin village of scientific understanding fooled reporters. Why am I not surprised.
The physicists were ‘amazed’ the the kid’s staff Googled “Quantum Physics” and gave him a few references to feign knowledge on the subject. So, the gathering could have mocked the PM, with a follow-up question or two to probe the micro-depth of his knowledge … or just clapped in hopes of receiving a boost in Federal funding. More scientists unwilling to upset their gravy train.
Do you think he will reference “Scrubs” at his next hospital appearance. Personally “House” is the show that gave me medical authority.
He stunned the physicists with his understanding….
Stunned.
Yeah, right.
Journalists and reporters are easily impressed.
And they’re such easy marks.
Yeah I can’t count the number of ‘geeks” I know that were paid to beat people up at bars while the rest of us were studying.
If the media was tipped off and dutifully reported that Trudeau went golfing and achieved 18 straight holes-in-one, I wonder how many potential voters would buy it. I’m betting that, much like North Koreans, a great many would be impressed.
“Quantum Phithics”
How heated did the discussion get in the editors office on whether to go with the Prime Minither in front of a photoshopped chalkboard or the one with the fake chalkboard and the photoshopped heavy dark rimmed glasses?
I like this theme, my own contribution: if Justin Trudeau was to play a game of hockey, he’d score ten goals. Of course if the team he played against was the Leafs with Bernier in the net,he’d score 15.
Every day,at National Newswatch,which I have taken the liberty of renaming the “National Tongue bath”, there is a poll,by Nanos,that shows the Country still favors Trudeau as PM, usually about 70% approval versus 15% for Rona Ambrose and 10% for Mulcair.
We’ve entered a new era where truth or even a modicum of realism are not welcome,just give us our fantasies,please.
Luckily waves and particles balance themselves.
So a switch is different from a sub-atomic particle. Whoda thunk it?
Justthinkin is right, the extent of his knowledge of any subject has to fit on one side of a file card while still allowing plenty of room for crayon notes.
Reading one sentence, paraphrasing it, injecting his silly musings while pontificating about his invalid views – simple. Running a government – complex.
Screwing taxpayers and the poor – easy.
Our PM – embarrassing.
Reminds me of the VP who invented the internet, was the role model for Love Story, received a Nobel, and Oscar, and couldn’t get his neighbours in Tennessee to vote for him for President.
Don’t forget Justimbecile Trudeau is an actor, he can memorize lines and say them in a convincing way, that does not mean he understands what he is saying.
And don’t forget he said that you lose when you kill your enemy… he can not be all that intelligent.
Enjoy.

Quantum computing – big whoop. I’m more interested in his re-thinking of space and time.
Trudeau is an actor – a real one with formal training – watch this video, it is really worth it…if only to know better who we are dealing with here.

I am actually studying Quantum Mechanics. It is not objects that are both particles and waves but rather radiation.

“bdft says… Perhaps he should pursue a career as a physicist.”
i dunno about that… he flunked out, oops… didn’t go on to finish two grad school programs while living off his million dollar plus trust fund.
you spend 30 minutes memorising the memos your staff prepared for you and then spit it out the next day… is that impressive?

I think PARROT would cover this. Wonder how many hours of “training” this took?
some should ask the idiot if “C” is absolute, or relative. That would stun both Turd-A-loo and the reporters. Cuz they can’t google that one!!!!
Apparently the Spawn was at Perimeter handing out $50M of taxpayer money. If he was giving me that kind of money then I could feign being impressed too.
I think I missed the part of the speech where Spawn talked about solutions to the problem of decoherence for many qubits.
So is Coyne, the liberal shill from the election, starting to get a little squeamish? Perhaps somewhat peckish with his “journalist” colleagues?
Reading the Macleans piece I had similar thoughts to others here. Trudeau does work hard. He works at boxing to get enough skill to handle a thug who didn’t watch the video where he walks into the left hook from the pro. He works at putting on a show for all the fools who voted for him. Ergo, a couple of days cramming so as to look smart at the university. As Canadian Friend has kindly shown us, he’s a better actor than most of us (Juno worthy anyway, to steal from the YouTube comments).
He should not be the Prime Minister of Canada. But here we are.
Does anyone recognize the woman on the right side of the video? The one who spends most of the time looking away? Is she a staffer who had heard the speech several times already, or someone who wasn’t buying the BS?
“The purest form of energy according to the really “intellectually intelligent” scientists who study Quantum Physics is what they refer to as wave forms of probability. These “probabilities” aren’t limited in any way, shape or form. In fact, they exist within an Infinite field of probabilities.”
It may be a stretch to confuse entanglement to probability, but it may be possible that the really intellectually intelligent Scientist had a close encounter with a Moron and now they share an entanglement… Think of the poor Moron
I know that the Genius was explaining Quantum Computing “without” explaining the role entanglement.
Next he’s be discussing selective magnetization of iron ions in a crystalline matrix as a basis for ultra-dense storage.,
1,283.
That’s how many days between now and the next federal election, and also how many more days that we get to watch you all slowly go mad from Trudeau Derangement Syndrome.
So, my parents had to endure Kim Trudeau-il and now some 40 yrs later we still live under the oppressive yoke of Kim Trudeau-un. With that in mind, I guess the state media is only performing due diligence by selling JT as an all-knowing savior of his people.
North Korea, indeed.
Not bad for an engineering skool dropout.
“A quantum state can be much more complex than that because, as we know, things can be both particle and wave at the same time… SQUUAAWWK, Polly want a cracker!”
If he got into an engineering program the qualifications unless the school took a quantum leap and accepted him on his name just as the voters did to allow him a chance to front he Liberal Party Cabal and play the role of Prime Minister. Drama school is coming in handy for him and the Liberals, so far he’s a hit in the play thanks to the media which is what all actors need, good press reviews.
I once heard that Justine Turdeau saved some lost wilderness hikers “Bear Grylls style” by using his hair for fishing line. He simply attached fish hooks around his head and then stuck his head in the water.
Bang enough fish to feed an aboriginal village, and gain their multicultural worship of him forever after. Legend say’s anyway.
He said that power goes through the wire. Anyone familiar with electricity would have described it as current going through the wire!
I can’t watch that ponce. He makes me want to puke.
So Trudeau has undergrad degrees in English and Education from McGill and UBC. He didn’t finish an Engineering degree from the École Polytechnique de Montréal and a master’s degree in environmental geography from McGill.
Wow – he had a friend and room-mate in Vancouver Christopher Ingvaldson who later received 3 months in jail for kiddie porn. Pretty close to the minimum possible. How come you only every see the scandalization of irrelevant information when Conservatives are involved? Strangely enough, based on court documents Ingvaldson appeared to be straight.
Obviously a set-up. A high school level physics question…and the press, supported by the junk scientists (those with a vested interest in receiving grants from this government), are falling all over themselves trying to suggest that our seriously limited PM has a brain after all.
Yes, you’ve summe it up nicely.
