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

"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...

I enjoyed Richard Feynman, myself, he wrote so the lay person could comprehend it.

Leaving aside the subject of Quantum Mechanics, I enjoyed also, reading and learning a bit, about fractals.

Fractals are amazing, and when one Journal said that they were studying oatmeal, and didn't elucidate on the oatmeal, I was sort of P'Oed, until, when eating oatmeal the next morning, I intentionally examined the oats and discovered that each oat had the little branch, like a tree, which had a smaller branch and then from that, a smaller, identical branch....

Of course, there is now a new big question of how one of the possibilities in the future is selected to form what we see as the present and what becomes the past, but we should not see the lack of a ready answer as a fault of quantum mechanics. This is a question that is large enough, encompassing such ideas as fate and free will, to be set aside for another time

Convenient. It can not, nor will it ever be answered by the mind of man, so "a later time" equates to eternity.
Perhaps it is all as simple as each particle's instantaneous verification with the Will of God. It is an explanation that will remain no further from the truth as any other untestable explanation conceived of by man. It appears there are limits to what we are allowed to know.
