Quantum Plates – Or Cat in a China Shop

Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935.[1] It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects. The scenario presents a cat that may be simultaneously both alive and dead,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] a state known as a quantum superposition, as a result of being linked to a random subatomic event that may or may not occur. The thought experiment is also often featured in theoretical discussions of the interpretations of quantum mechanics. Schrödinger coined the term Verschränkung (entanglement) in the course of developing the thought experiment.

Daily Darwin – Squashed Like a Bug

Darwin notes that the truck driver here violated the First Rule of Trucking, namely “squash the ‘effing deer”.  Or put another way, trying to dodge a obstacle in a ‘big rig’ never works out well for someone’s genomes.

Lock Her Up Reprise

According to Bloomberg Hillary “Clinton Plan[s] to Join [Jill Stein’s] Recount – Draws ’Sore Loser’ Jibe from Trump“.

hillary_hit_stop_button_b4_voting Hillary Clinton’s campaign lawyer announced plans to participate in vote recounts of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan if they take place, yet doesn’t expect to overturn the election of Donald Trump as president.

My suggestion for President Elect Trump, is to reprise his call to “Lock Her Up”.  All he has to do is let Attorney General Jeff Sessions, both Republican Houses of Congress, the FBI, the rest of the DOJ, and all other appropriate and involved ‘Alphabet’ Agencies, including local jurisdictions, know that he believes that “Lady Justice” is impartial, fair and sure. So that no matter what one’s station in life is, Hillary, Bill, Huma, John, Cheryl et al., Justice will be served.  Best cold and slow, says I.
