Twice upon a time in the condensed universe ...

Prof. Robert B. Laughlin

Cartoon by Robert B. Laughlin, Stanford U.

  • "I am going to tell you what nature behaves like. If you will simply admit that maybe she does behave like this, you will find her a delightful, entrancing thing. Do not keep saying to yourself, if you can possibly avoid it, ‘but how can it be like that?’ because you will get ‘down the drain,’ into a blind alley from which nobody has yet escaped. Nobody knows how it can be like that."

This what my daughter has texted to me: "Santa should use quantum physics to deliver to everyone in just one night. Provided no one observes him, he can be in multiple chimneys at the same time."



Happy holidays to you all!
