Heisenberg Compensator

One of my favorite techno-spoofs was something call the Turboencabulator. In this update, we parody marketing techno-jargon and laugh as the company launches the Sun Heisenberg Compensator.

In the fictional Star Trek universe, the Heisenberg compensators are part of the transporter system.
A Star Trek matter transporter is presumed to operate by reading the precise quantum state of every particle making up the person to be transported, breaking down that person from their component matter into energy, "beaming" that energy to the desired location, and recombining this energy back into their component matter according to the information gleaned when the precise quantum state was read. However, in quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states (in general terms) that one cannot know the quantum state of a subatomic particle to arbitrary precision. Therefore, matter transportation in this way was believed to be impossible, and this was formalized as the no teleportation theorem.

Thus, the creators of Star Trek created a plot device, the so-called Heisenberg compensators. It is unclear how exactly the Heisenberg compensators work. It is, of course, possible that they do not actually tell you the precise statistics of each particle; they could just compensate for not being able to know them.

needs to get an original script instead of plagiarizin Chryslers comedic Turbo Encabulators...

[overheardinpdx]

Parody is considered fair use, which is good for Chrysler, Rockwell, and GE because they al did parodys of the encabulator but none of them were the originators of this script.

If you read the video notes, this parody is described as an update of the turbo encabulator, The widely circulated piece on the mythical "turbo-encabulator" was written by Bernard Salwen, a New York lawyer working in Washington, DC during World War II.

Bah...not as good as the classic encabulator videos but only because this fella seems to always be on the verge of exploding with laughter every time he speaks! :)

HE ALMOST LAUGHED AT :50

This is bad.

@warriordog1

and an invention not from fucking startrek

[ibcnunabit]

@overheardinpdx Parody is only fair use when you're parodying the original work. In this case, the orginal work is already a parody; copying it virtually word for word would not be fair use no matter what, but since it doesn't parody the original but merely reproduces it, it isn't protected.

Why don't someone come up with a "RE-HYMENATED" Huminoid??

[electrohacker]

WHY IS THIS THE SAME HORSE SHIT

[pbartolomeo05]

no, not as funny

[downingstreet1]

This script has mutated over time. Wikipedia has quite a bit on it; there are many versions.

He doesn't sell it right..

its very simple i built one for my car
