Oh no, you do not get any choice in the matter. What you are likely to see is determined by the probabilities for the various quantum states. What you actually see is a matter of random choice. You do not get to choose what will happen; the quantum amplitudes only give the probability of different results, but they do not fix what will happen. That is pure chance and only becomes fixed when an observation is made.

Light is not a smooth continuous stream. It is made up of a lot of quanta, little packettes of energy, so that the flow of light is lumpy. These quanta, or particles, of light are called photons. Practically everything comes in quantum of some size. This gives quantum physics its name, you know.

There are very few particles, if any, which are entirely real. They almost all have some virtual aspects, though some are more virtual than others.

Anyone who did not feel dizzy when thinking about quantum theory had notunderstood it.

On paper, it looks really hard, but I can't wait to train the next day.

He's a creative force to be reckoned with. He's a fighter and a wonderful person.

It all starts with who we got running the country,
