My Question: 
"Where are you right now?"

Wynn's Answer:

"The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle of Quantum Physics (a branch of physics that describes the motion and actions of most particles in the universe) states that any given particle can consciously know where they are or how fast the are going (momentum) but not both. Now since humans are made up of atoms and atoms are made up of quantum particles, one could conclude that I as a human am influenced by these same quantum laws. However, a real physicist could point out that I'm full of shit for making such a philosophically inclined connection and that my scales are really all wrong. But nonetheless I'm rolling with this tangent of thought. So, I as a human at this moment, have momentum and a location but unfortunately I cannot know both. And I think this is pretty relevant to any teenager today. I really do think I know where I am: I'm in high school for a couple more months, I know my town and my environment, I know my family and my friends and I think I know myself as of now. So my location is settled, presently. But my momentum is a different story. I believe that my momentum is the passions that I believe will carry me on my next life journey; the one after high school. Now I may be a wiseass, self-indulged teenager (like the rest), but I do understand the fact that no matter what I consider my location now(consciously), I still have momentum to take me to my next life location, whatever that may be. So really, my quantum journey through life has many factors that determine where I will go after this present location that was my teenage, high school years. 

But I am content with what I have now and where I appear to be. As I should be. I'm privileged to be in the place I am now and I will always look back on it with nostalgia. Maybe my life is already pre-determined and I'm just viewing one small portion of a finite stream of consciousness. Or maybe I'm just observing one of an infinite number of multiverses that house different scenarios of my life (a topic better understood by someone taking fat moles to the dome than by the average human being). However, no matter what happens, life moves pretty fast (for quantum particles and even for teenagers) but I'm learning to stop, and observe and enjoy the various places in my life I end up because I only have one chance to do it. 

Thank you and goodnight. 

Sincerely,

Winifred"
