Edit: That does not mean that this story is not complete horseshit.
His position is ‘that either position or momentum are “as yet undetermined”’. That means that the ‘uncertainty’ is not due to our ability to measure things, but ‘rather […] a statement about the actual reality about what variables (hidden or not) are stored by each particle’. :)

Sorry, in Latin every adjective can also be used as a noun. So “studens” (“studierend”) can also mean “Studierende(r)”.
Edit: The point is, Latin “studens” also has the concurrency aspect to it, just as German “Studierender”. If you say “studens ambulat”, it means “He/she is taking a walk, while studying.”
“Student” comes from Latin “studens”, which grammatically is exactly the same as “studierend” (Partizip I in German / Present Active Participle in Latin). The difference in meaning is random.
> Well, the important difference is that German has actually simple, clean rules for spelling in those cases.
In German, there are the “Fugenlaute”, sounds that are inserted between the words that a compound is made of. And it is not always clear, what these sounds should be.
Some examples:
* “Schaden(s)ersatz” (compensation for damages) – some put an “s” between “Schaden” (damage) and “ersatz” (substitute), some don’t.
* In the German constitution the word “verfassungsgebend” appears, but some would call it “verfassunggebend”.
There are even words that have a different meaning depending on the “Fugenlaute”:
* “Landsmann” / “Landmann” (Land = country / land; Mann = man): “Landsmann” is a man from the same country; a “Landmann” is a peasant or farmer.
There’s a Debian package for an implementation of the “tcpclient” program: `apt-get install ucspi-tcp-ipv6`. You can also find TLS-enabled versions of the client here: https://github.com/SuperScript/ucspi-ssl (see the links).
