Yeah I did the basics of quantum stuff at school and first year uni, a while ago now.......smiley - laugh But I've seen loads of telly progs about basic quantum stuff.

Everything in science is based on probability. That's why, apart from religion being a load of woo-woo nonsense, science is so much sexier. That uncertainty at the basis of everything is just so much more erotically up there than certainty. You know what I mean? The fundamental excitement of uncertainty. The betting on the dice, the cards for the poker player. Probability makes you feel alive. Certainty is death.
