The more you know the position of a particle, the less you can know about its velocity, and the more you know about the velocity of a particle, the less you can know about its instantaneous position.

To whom, and what, does the preceding statement most commonly relate?

Isn't that Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle? So, Werner Heisenberg.

What is the name of Charles Darwin's polymathic half-cousin, famous for, among many things, early studies of the relation of hereditary factors to genius and success?

Can you provide a copy of the oath?

It's not exactly something I am familiar with off the top of my head.

I'm tempted to fall for the old Antarctica trick, but it's more likely to be someones vagina.

Nope.

Leezee can have it. For the first part of his answer, not the vagina part. Would have preferred if he was more specific and said the Dry Valleys but I'm happy enough with Antarctica.

Is that a cryptic question?

If so, I'm guessing Makybe Diva seeing as she comes from Port Lincoln which could be considered the seafood production capital of SA by export numbers due to tuna, scallops, etc.

Makybe Diva

totally.

i think it's one of those debatable questions, and it depends a lot on the context and conditions of the question. this dry valley gets no moisture from rain/snow/ice there are no glaciers, and it hasn't rained in millions of years, however it does have floodplains/rivers that flow every so often.

the atacama gets on average 1mm per year, but it's from freak storms every few hundred years or so.

It hasn't rained in the Atacama for 500 years. I think it is something like 300,000 years since it last rained in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica.
