Comment Re:If my calculations are correct... (Score 1) 320

maybe the rate of detection went up the last 30 years? now we have mri, pet, spect, ct-scans, and other ways of looking inside a person's brain and noticing tumors that otherwise would just have been diagnosed as "he had a stroke" or wouldn't have caused death. (sometimes tumors stop growing and you can live long enough to die of something else)

Comment Re:First infinite loop.... (Score 1) 132

actually that's not an infinite loop. you can actually get both position and velocity of a particle.
the result of getPhotonPosition() and getPhotonVelocity() just has to be a function, not a single number...

So you could get for example two gaussian functions as result. And then you use some fuzzy logic.

PS: the velocity of a photon is often the speed of light (in vacuüm)
