Struck with blindness is how most modern English translations interpret Genesis 19:11 , when angels 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."[1]
But blindness dies not make it impossible to find and open a door, or wear themselves out trying. Moreover, the Hebrew term used is a rare one,
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.
