“When left alone, quantum particles behave as multiple images of themselves (as waves, really), simultaneously moving through all possible paths in space and time. Now, again, why do we not experience this multitude around ourselves? Is it because we are probing things around us all the time? Why do all experiments that involve, say, the position of a particle make the particle suddenly be somewhere rather than everywhere? No one knows. Before you probe it, a particle is a wave of possibilities. After you've probed it, it is somewhere, and subsequently it is somewhere for ever, rather than everywhere again. Strange, that. Nothing, within the laws of quantum physics, allows for such a collapse to happen. It is an experimental mystery and a theoretical one. Quantum physics stipulates that whenever something is there, it can transform into something else, of course, but it cannot disappear. And since quantum physics allows for multiple possibilities simultaneously, these possibilities should then keep existing, even after a measurement is made. But they don't. Every possibility but one vanishes. We do not see any of the others around us. We live in a classical world, where everything is based on quantum laws but nothing resembles the quantum world.”

“The very small quantum world, it seems, is a mixture of possibilities. The quantum fields to which all particles belong are the sum of these possibilities and, somehow, one possibility is chosen out of all the existing ones just by seeing it, just by the very act of detecting it, whenever one tries to probe a particle's nature. Nobody knows why or how this happens.”

“Se facea ca ma faceam ca traiesc,
Intr-o vale adanca, de somn intretaiata.
Trezindu-ma, doar atat imi amintesc.
Ochiul continua sa mi se bata.”

“They鈥檇 insert a probe into the patient鈥檚 head to press the nodule and the patient鈥檚 immediate response would be to shout out, 鈥淔UCK IT! WHY NOT?”

“Of course, you could live without asking questions, just live the way life comes, float with the current, but, I'm crazy that way: I must know why and wherefore, dig down to the truth myself. That's why I'm a man.”

“That the United States Government can swiftly offer to help in gay fashion designer Edwin Chiloba's murder probe, which has been unraveled while ignoring the many deaths that happen in Kenya says a lot. The US is only dedicated to demeaning the African culture while promoting none issues.”
