Quantum theory.

God it’s mad stuff isn’t it?

Yes ! But as soon as I read anything I forget it all (cue another dip into Wikipedia). This to do with the new discovery (have even forgotten the name) which they are saying will rewrite physics ??

Yes! Yes! I was just watching some Jim Al-Khalili and thinking how he makes it so accessible and yet it’s hard to articulate it.

Everything is made up of little wee things, and the wee things only actually exist when we look at them. And are tangled up.

Sorted.

@HeronLanyon what new discovery?

I had DS try to explain this to me...

He knows that him talking about this is like the teacher in Charli Brown, and yet... 'no, no mum, its really interesting - let me tell you about... mwah-mwah, mwah-mwah, mwah-mwah-mwah-mwah-mwah...' Takes me bakh to my dad trying to help me with my maths homework (he taught it at uni)...

I love this stuff. Posting as I usually get some great links from mumsnet. I really enjoyed the demonstration of molecular interference.

Keep going, ZenNudist! I am still at “Thats not my molecule” book level.

Do thoughts become things? (Deepak Chopra, eckhart Tolle et al)

Thoughts become reality. (if you believe in them)

It or ‘they’ are called muons. I don’t understand the first thing but looked exciting and potentially huge discovery.

In case you’re dubious ‘themarysue’ is a New York based ‘feminist geek girl’ website covering scientific/tech stuff. Thkight was an particularly accessible article (still mystified but I understood the words one by one )

Everything is made up of little wee things, and the wee things only actually exist when we look at them. And are tangled up.

I watched a really interesting television programme about this a little while ago but of course I've forgotten it all now

Loving these links Heron!

No probs - it looks pretty huge - really cannot believe I was able to provide bang up to date major quantum theory update. May need a stiff drink and then a read through again.
