Never before have I so thoroughly looked forward to a post count.


I am not "full of hate" as if I were some passive container. I am a generator of hate, and my rage is a renewable resource, like sunshine.

You could try Robert Gilmore's Alice In Quantumland. That's about as easy as I've ever heard it explained.
Or you could try George Gamow's Mr. Tompkins In Paperback, which was the original attempt to explain how basic quantum theory worked in simple language. It also has a great drinking song going from the beginning to the end of creation in ten verses.

If you are all going to insist on using Quantum Theory to back up your ill-concieved and fact-lite ideas about reality, lets actually make sure we all know what we are talking about first.
