4. Good stuff

I forgot to remind my physics students to watch tonight. I hope it will be repeated.

5. This isn't anything unusual to me...

I always talk about this type of stuff with my friends whenever I'm stoned.:smoke:

[Guaranteed]

6. Alright....intermission

I have to say I'm pretty skeptical about all of this. It's all more or less believable up to the QM part.

7. Quantum Mechanics

is a very well tested theory (your computer would not work without quantum mechanics). It is string theory that is not well tested since no one can figure out how to make testable predictions.

[Guaranteed]

9. Right.

Except when you test it up against gravity, apparently.

[Guaranteed]

10. Dupe

[Ilsa]

8. Thanks for the heads-up.

We've got it on now.
