Should mean more jobs for quantum mechanics.
I spent 25 years training to be an eccentric then I woke up one morning and realised that I'd cracked it.
I've not had to try since.

I wonder what happens if I click on thi

  I don't even pretend to understand quantum mechanics.  I would be afraid that if I used a quantum computer I would wind up in a chaotic state on another planet.....

  For all the geniuses of quantum theory, past and present, my hat's off to you all.  I'm totally amazed at your understanding of such things to the point that I wonder if you even came from this planet.  8)

Hmm...imagine what could happen (if it works) the next time some nation in the EU goes after Google for "yet something else." ;D

40hz,

That's the first time I've heard that and I have now doubled my music collection.

Thank you.
