Post #367,766 by Another Scott 12/12/12 3:06:29 PM Reply	It happens everywhere... I recall hearing a story about a PhD defense in the sciences where one of the profs asked the ~~victim~~ candidate whether the wavelength of light was bigger than a breadbox. He couldn't answer. :-/ Enjoy! :-) Cheers, Scott.

Post #367,943 by mhuber 12/14/12 9:02:04 PM Reply	Is the breadbox being oberved as a wave or as a particle? Do we know how fast it is going, or where it is? Is it being carried by someone walking westward at 10 MPH on a train moving eastward at 20 MPH? --------------------------------------- In the dessert, you can't remember your name
