       Will wonders never cease.


  This is a news flash from the world of
quantum mechanics. 

  A new fundamental law of the physical 
universe, called the "Intel uncertainty 
principle," has shaken the very foun-
dations of modern physics.  

  Briefly, the principle works something
like this. Give any floating point division 
x/y on an Intel Pentium chip, you can either 
know the exact values x and y, or you can 
know the exact value of the quotient x/y, 
but it is impossible on a Pentium to know 
the precise values of x, y and x/y.  

  A wave function Pm(x,y) - an irrational 
solution of the Grove equation (Andy Grove 
was the former president of the former chip 
manufacturer Intel) - describes the probability 
of finding the correct solution.  

  Thus the new view modern physics is taking 
is that all floating point operations are 
probability wave functions.  

  Similarly, the newly discovered P.C. exclu-
sion principle prohibits replacement chips 
from ever occupying the same orbital as the 
original chip, thus effectively making such 
replacement impossible.
