'''Struck with blindness''' is how most modern English translations interpret {{bibleref|Genesis|19|11}}, when [[angel]]s made it impossible for evildoers in [[Sodom]] to find the doorknob on [[Lot]]'s home.  They wore themselves out trying.  (The [[King James Version]] uses the phrase "smote ... with blindness.")<ref>{{bibleref|Genesis|19|11|version=KJV}}.</ref>

But blindness does not make it impossible for people to find and open a door, or wear themselves out trying.  Lot and his family could hardly go to sleep in peace if it was merely blindness that temporarily prevented the wrongdoers from grasping the doorknob of their door.

A more precise translation benefiting from modern [[quantum mechanics]] would be that the Sodom evildoers were deprived of their awareness, their full consciousness needed to eliminate quantum [[uncertainty]] about the location of the doorknob.  They can try forever but without being able to collapse the wave function of the door it never has a certain location for them.
