If we constantly observe a photon, it seems to take one       rail in the continuous field, infinite rails for the photon to travel       on. But, if we look away, it seems to take all rails at once. Its also       strange thinking about being able to see a laser beam when we are not       the target, but we can see the photons. Means its not perfect?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
