I mean it's one thing to do the retard crossword to fill an idle minute once you've polished off the Cryptic, but to talk about it in public - and admit you've failed! - requires a paucity of shame I simply cannot begin to comprehend.Quote:

Of course I don't do crosswords of any description. They're silly word games really, aren't they?Quote:

You just don't do them because you know your wife will get involved and complete them in seconds flat.Quote:

The first entangled particle know which random path its twin will take before it reaches the first of the two splitters than randomly send it in different directions.
It's fücking mind-blowing.
Ah, the old non-local connectivity chestnut. Information moving freely in time-and-space? Or seemingly disparate events linked through another, invisible dimension. I prefer the latter as a conceptual model, but the first is more spooky and therefore, fun. :thumbup:Quote:

Which has nothing to do with intellect whatsoever, of course.
Now, now, WES. No need to start stirring up trouble.Quote:
