Free Will 345 to think the Moon is there when I am not looking at it.” But, how can we test his statement? How can we know something is there without taking a look? There is a way... Let us suppose the particle had a definite spin before we measured it. Perhaps its spin points at the top left hand corner of the room. Imagine taking many measurements and seeing what happens. We can point our hand in any direction: top of the room, bottom left corner, bottom right corner and so on. Each time we point our hand in a direction we must get 1,0 and 1 in some combination (110, 011, 101). The particles are 101 particles and this is an absolute rule. Let’s imagine doing the experiment. We fix the spin of a particle and begin to take measurements, noting the answers as we go. If we get a borderline condition we obey the 101 rule and give ourselves a 1, 0, 1 reading. As we move our hand to take measurements, a problem begins to emerge. Every now and again we obtain a measurement that conflicts. We chose a 1, 0, | when we were pointing our index finger towards the floor, but if we point the finger toward the door, we need that original middle number to have been a 1 for consistency. (The middle finger is now pointing in the direction the index finger pointed to for the first reading.) To fix the inconsistency we can change our original borderline decision to a 1,1,0. All is well and we continue. But, as we get over 30 measurements, we can't seem to find any way to make all the 1,0,1s fit together. After scratching our head for a while, we realize there might be no solution. And indeed there is not. This is the Kochen- Specker Paradox. The odd shaped cubes on the building in the Escher print are an example of one of these impossible figures. An analogy to this problem is trying to solve a_ broken Rubik’s Cube. There is a really mischievous trick you can play on someone: reverse two colors on a Rubik’s Cube. You can easily do this by snapping one of the edge blocks out, turning it around and snapping it back in. When the colors are already muddled up 101 puzzle piece this is not obvious.
