The most compelling photo I've seen is a cloud chamber track where two particles collide. They disappear, move 6 inches, then reappear on the same track, displaced horizontally, with no trace of either in between. Where were they when they weren't there?!!! God's pocket?

Well, they didn't exist during that brief time of disequilibrium. But immediately thereafter the energy forces pulled them back into balance, and thus created the actual particles again. In one sense, they were in MY pocket. This is what I've been trying to tell you!

I'll have a couple more drinks, and explain the whole thing to you later! <gg>

<<there are some paths through a brick that are "shorter" than the physical dimensions of the brick would suggest. >>

First.... there is empty space that is different than empty space [vacume]....... Now this.

But ...but.... what about my concept of reality?

Himmmmm......Well....now......I'm getting Tig's headache.

Mamma said I should have studied something other than Economics in school.
