Re: Repeatability, scientific method, and probabilistic results

I am not so sure that the line width comes from the uncertainty
principle.
Consider this quote from

Natural spectral line widths in undamped many-wave systems

Begin Quote

>>From the theory of the single-mode laser it is known that the natural
line width
comes about by internal noise such as spontaneous emissior, processes
which necessitate
a stochastic description.

End Quote

I suppose I am challenging your statement, though it may be defensible.
