Make that 4 topics never to discuss in public; politics, religion, quantum entanglement, and pineapple on pizza (yuck).
Careful, we'll be debating Schrödinger's equation or something like that.
My dad (88 years young) still has his. It’s such a beautiful piece of furniture, we gutted it and put an entertainment system in it with a flat screen on top.
I just read a somewhat interesting article on Quantum Theory the other day, I think I almost understood some of it.
It looks like they have (caught a glimpse) of a particle transforming into a wave, or a wave transforming into a particle. It does not say they actually seen it, just "given a glimpse" whatever that means.... Wave theory has stumped physicist for over 100 years now.... (Schrödinger's cat etc.).Well, that makes one of us. I just read it, and couldn't make heads or tails out of it. So I looked up two of the papers upon which it is based [1,2]. Those are (naturally) even tougher sledding. But I am working on it!
