Fascinating stuff Doc. The more quantum science discovers the more we realise how little we do know.

I liked that video and how it shows the oil droplet and double slit experiment. It's a strange concept to grasp, but it was shown plainly there.

The 'photon' goes through one slit, but the wave function goes through both and interferes with itself and the photon. Unless you measure it, then all bets are off.

I've read books on the double slit experiment but not much on oil droplets... I like how he ties it all together.

Until scientists find a way to measure without affecting the results......then....

Wave function is also a devious subject. One instance is my satellite dish. If I point it exactly where it should be I get a weaker signal than shifting 2 degrees horizontal towards a large maple the signal goes to 100%.

Jaysus, I'll be trying to figure this out for the rest of my retirement. A dangerous elevation of tone round these parts.

Suck it up buttercup. Retirement is no time to slack off and stop feeding your brain.
