But why did they need to kill the rabbit in the box. Could they use a paint gun to mark him her or it.

"QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter" is one of the most concise, yet readable, Physics for the Layperson texts I have ever read.

Thanks to Snarks for a great article.

Now, can anyone go over spin-orbit coupling with me?

Cheers!

"It is rather revealing that one of the few novel quantum phenomena is a means of cryptography-a way of concealing a signal rather than sending one."

Great article except for that one line which should read that quantum phenomena is a means of cryptography-a way of detecting if a signal has been intercepted...
