I disagree. Haruhi wants weirdness at its most obvious and personal. She's not interested in the cosmos; she wants ALIENS. She isn't looking for clairvoyance or telekinesis; she wants ESPERS. She doesn't want to hear about relativistic effects; she wants TIME TRAVELERS. Quantum mechanics are much too vague (or at least too irrelevant) for Haruhi to care about them, IMO.

I didn't intend to be comical, but then, I didn't intend to rain on your banter parade, either. I guess your reaction just confuses me. Your "friendly banter" was two posts amidst a mass of serious discussion (both IN FAVOR of said serious discussion), so I don't think I was really out of line by reacting seriously.

Also, after a rewatch of Disappearance, I've noticed a distinct lack of Itsuki, not only in the scenes but also in theme. No, scratch that, Itsuki was never really that significant AT ALL throughout the series. Haruhi's screen time for the movie isn't impressive, but at least she was the central pillar for Yuki's "key" (John Smith anyone?) and the reason for Kyon's final decision. Itsuki could be much more as a character given his agenda, but seems to be relegated to the role of "theoretical physics lecturer" and "eyecandy for fangirls" by the author. Yuki is awesome, no doubt, but the author could have given more attention to Itsuki. It seems most male supporting characters can expect to be ignored (also, kitamura from Toradora). |

Gamer 2k4 haruhi probably is just not intelligent enough to undestand quantum physics...if she was, she probably wouldn't have come to want aliens, espers and whatnot in her life. a logical scientific mind dejects that kind of fictional stuff.

And you might want to watch some of their episodes again. She tops most exam papers with little effort, and still has time to nap during the time left in a paper; intelligent is a severe understatement. Also, her intelligence has nothing to do with her liking for espers, aliens and what not, she searches for them because she finds normal life too boring. If you watched season 2 at all you will know Haruhi doesn't actually believe in all this weirdness, she wants to but she knows they are just not possible; her searches are just an attempt to escape from her "boring" reality. |

they are there just to fill space, they are plot devices. and if i feel this then the author isn't as good... the dissappearance movie seemed like a one man show for me. we get like 10 min of screentime with the chars from the original universe, besides kyon. the doplegangers are ppl who we don't know, so we can't really feel for them, at least alot less than we did for the original space-fillers. its both annoying and well, not. i would have liked more interaction with the sos bunch just for the heck of something familiar. but it was an introspective movie for kyon, we get to see at last some real feelings of his, not just the sarcasm on the surface. although in more than 2 hours they could have fitted in a little more character development than one tiny realization that kyon liked the crazy ass adventures with haruhi. ...mmm. just felt like getting that out there...

As insightful as these musings are, they are off topic for the movie impressions/review thread. The better places for these is the individual character threads or the general character thread.
EDIT: for those discussions that quite don't fit the above, then the The General Discussion of Haruhi Suzumiya thread is for you. Last edited by CrowKenobi; 2011-01-24 at 13:13. Reason: Answer for below. |

none of those threads seem be appropriate for my post. its not about ONE character and the general thread says its for chars that didn't get their own thread, so...
+ my post included impressions of the movie. and now we wouldn't want to clutter this thread with an even more off topic discussion of wether i posted in the right thread or not, now would we? well, at least someone finds my musings, lol, insightfull. usually ppl say my posts are a load of crap. read signature for lulz.

One of the problems though with quantum physics is that it runs into conflict with the theory of general relativity, so a new theory like string theory is needed to unite the two theories.

The reason that we humans don't intuitively grasp quantum physics the way that we intuitively grasp Newtonian physics is that quantum physics is pretty much irrelevant to anybody in a pre-industrial society. In other words, there is no significant survival advantage to understanding how subatomic particles function if you have no technology for observing or controlling them--most importantly because we have no sensory organs capable of even detecting most quantum effects because they are too small or too low-energy or too fast to trigger our neurons--even quantum effects involving visible-light photons are just barely detectable at all to the human eye (e.g. a rod cell in the retina will respond to a single photon, producing a barely-noticeable flicker in otherwise total darkness).
Consider a human in a hunter-gatherer society or an agrarian society (as just about everyone was until recently, evolutionarily speaking). Understanding quantum tunneling will not bring any material benefit to such a person. However, understanding ballistics, such as the motion of a thrown stone or spear or an arrow (Newtonian physics) has much more obvious value--knowing where an airborne object will hit is important for hunting, combat, or just getting out of the way of something falling on your head. Thus, our brains are not set up to process quantum effects because we had no need to do so until we started experimenting with electricity and the like. |
