This confirms the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Schrodinger's catcher is playing for both teams. 

This guy is acting like both a particle and a wave, we should send a bunch of him, one at a time, through a double slit experiment.

I hope the wave function doesn't collapse on this game, they'll have to write a new rule* for that scenario.

Could you cheat by having information about one of the catchers, knowing that the other pitcher must have the opposite spin, due to entanglement?

Since we know his starting position, we cannot know his velocity.

We know his initial condition.  That is the first part of Schrödinger's equation.  Second part involved the Laplace operator on his locations.  That defines acceleration.  How fast he changes teams, put into Schrödinger's equation, then means we know his energy (enthusiasm). 

BTW, that Wave Equation says nothing about what is happening in the stands.

So Laplace's Demon is the recruiter?

Does that mean at least two will appear in the strike zone? 

I'm really confused how they could apply the Venditte Rule ("lefty-righty switch") to account for a pitcher that favors in both directions simultaneously.

By putting in two batters?? ..a lefty and a righty, both facing inwards towards the strike zone??
 

just typing the word "physics" is irresistible nerd-bait

I have something to say about physics. According to the holographic principle, any 3D volume of space can be encoded by the amount of data on the 2D surface surrounding it an an infinite distance. Leonard Susskind says, when you put more energy into a given volume than it's 2D boundary conditions allow it to contain, that's when you form a black hole.

Here's the part I haven't heard anyone say before.. Approaching a black hole, you experience time dilation approaching infinity. If we consider the arrow of time/entropy to point "in the direction of" cosmic expansion, then the singularity of a black hole, if it experiences infinite time dilation, would be able to reach the 2D boundary of the universe. That is, if you can travel an infinite distance in an infinite amount of time. Black holes would be in effect, a "tunnel" that connects a part of the interior of the universe to the surrounding boundary of the universe. What I'm saying is, space collapses into a black hole when you put too much space in space, because when it collapses, it tunnels all the way to the place where space is defined. That sector of the 3D universe becomes a "pure definition of" space. The space contained in  black holes is "real" space.. meaning, the space described in 3D is directly connected to it's 2D encoding at the surface. This, in some perverse way, sounds like the "ultimate goal" of spatial information.

Anyway, I'm working on a villain that throws people into black holes. ..to.. "save" them.

I would rely on the existing alien infrastructure or life form which is harvesting  the emissions, but I like a good cheat.
