I don't believe this is a generally accepted idea, and as       > T. Roberts pointed out is more difficult to argue for massive particles.              It would have to know not just where, but what was measured. Since       experiments have been done where the decision about what to measure is       made at random between the emission of the particle and its detection,       the only way the particle could know would be to see the future.              Sylvia.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
