I forgot about the cool url-invisible highlight function available to me at blogger. Live with it. I also failed miserably to understand my husband's mini-lecture on how light particles can transmit data instantaneously. I do understand that light can be both particle and wave, and read Ellen Gilcrist's novel. See, what you do is to clone the particles, then line the clone pairs up in the right order in two locations and if you give one of the pair one form by looking at it the other pair member does the same thing, giving you the same sequence of 1s and 0s in the two locations, presently a distance of 2 meters. But how do you keep them in the same order? He mentioned fiber optics, electrical cable which corrals electrons, the printed circuit board with its obedient silica bits. Yeah, but this is the man who dreamed a transistor in a cowboy hat was after him.
