   Quoth sehr geehrter Herr Doktor Kymmie:  "The past few months of study across   
   the various topics if not 50 years   
   dabbling in quantum physics has reinforced to me to never to rule out   
   any explanation."    
      
   Oh, grab us!  First, like Dr. John Mack, you were a psychiatrist, but in a   
   former life.  And now you were, for 50 years, a quantum physicist.  I am   
   shocked, envious, and amazed!  In your exploits during your exciting lives,   
   did you meet The Great (but    
   secretive) Walter Mitty?
