If nobody stayed behind to hear it how can you ascertain whether the action took place, let alone be the judge on if it made a sound?

This is a Schrodinger cat thingy isn't it. As there are no fans to observe Hammond then Quantum superposition theory in the Copenhagen interpretation would suggest that Hammond is both there applauding and not there applauding. He is therefore in two distinct states of existence at once. Therefore until observed by a fan or fans, no-one can tell the state of the Hammond. Perhaps this was the rationale behind Madkins assertions of "unseen work"?

However Schrodinger disputed the Copenhagen interpretation with regard to its application to larger objects and he would have said that in the circumstances Hammond is either there applauding or not there applauding and only upon observation will we know. There is therefore one state of existence.

This of course does not apply to theories relating to sub-atomic particles as shown by the famous dual electron experiment (wave or particle).

In summary I would say that as there are no fans, Hammond is either there or not, but logic would dictate that as he never appeared as a footballer in the first place it would be unlikely he would be there now.

I hope that helps and kills the thread. :)
 
I think that's it's only fair, that if we do win the league and gain promotion, that Hammond and Adkins be invited back to the lane to watch in shame as Billy and Chris lift the trophy aloft.
Then they should be pelted with stones, broken glass and salt, and then fans should be allowed to piss on them..................

Whoops, did I just type that out loud!?

What's with this "invited" business. Fucking kidnapped off the street, chucked in the back of a transit used for the transport of sheep's heads from an abattoir and then driven round the block for a couple of hours whilst the heater is turned up full and maggots are introduced into the van, then delivered into the car park with the transit doing doughnuts until the rear doors of the transit fly open. That should do it for a start.
 
Surely, dragged naked behind the van would be a more suited entrance!??

In keeping it the theme of this thread, as none of us heard you typing, I can neither confirm nor deny whether it was 'out loud'.................

If Dean Hammond applauded the fans on a lap of honour following the final match of last season but nobody stayed behind to hear it, did it still make a sound?

Yes if he fell over a tree and hit a wall, but if he was in space at the time no.

Well he certainly did'nt run a lap of honour. First, he went home at half time, second, he could'nt run. The End. :)
