Gut war auch die Folge mit den Bankräubern und der Heisenbergschen Unschärferelation:
Charlie Eppes: There's something else that has to be considered.
Don Eppes: Like what?
Charlie Eppes: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Heisenberg noted that the act of observation will effect the observed; in other words, when you watch something, you change it, and uh, uh, for example, an electron, you know, you can't really measure it without bumping into it in some small way. Any physical act of observation requires interaction with a form of energy, like light, and that will change the nature of the electron, its path of travel.
Don Eppes: Hold on. You know I got, like, a C in physics, so just take me through how this relates to the case.
Charlie Eppes: Don, you've observed the robbers. They know it. That will change their actions.
Und aus der gleichen Folge:
[Charlie connects the computer game Minesweeper to the bank robberies]
Charlie Eppes: You see this game, Larry? You're got to clear the mines without blowing any up. Each time you clear a square, a numerical value is reveled. That number tells you exactly how many squares containing mines are directly adjacent to that square. This allows you to predict where the next mine will be located and then the more boxes reveled the more accurately one can predict the location of the mines. The pattern used in these bank robberies is similar to this kind of problem solving pattern. These robbers have used the banks they've been robbing to tell them which ones to rob next.
