Big blind STT, 5 left, blinds huge

I remember it too and it was sort of explained to me, though i can't remember much.
Bit too deep for me these days.

It's a fantastic book, its not so much to do with the schrodinger problem, but more a discussion on particle wave duality.

Tikay another good book is, schrodinger's kittens, bet they took ages thinking that one up!!

But yeah the basic idea is that the cat is both dead and alive untill you open the box to check. In the way way that your AK has outdrawn QQ untill you deal the flop!

I like the one that renders movement impossible.

On the idea you can get infinately small pieces of space. If a particle moves from A to B it will pass a halfway point. Travelling from this halway point to B it will meet another halfway point and so on an infinite number of times. A particle, by definition, cannot move through infinite points so, in theory, nothing can move, ever.

Lol yes, unless the universe is not infinite, and infinite is indeed a known sum

And particles, allegedly, disappear from Point A & arrive at Point C simultaneously, without passing through the space between. It's all just beyond my tiny mind. I mean, I can't get through the entrance door on this - how do they KNOW that it's the same particle that pops up in the other place, for starters?

But I DO heartily recommend Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything" which does at least attempt to put this, & other stuff which is normally way above regular folks heads, into lay language. It really is THE most fascinating book, & I recommend it to anyone. I would have learned more at school from this single book than I did throughout my entire "education".

It's maybe not the greatest book ever written, though it's probably the book that has impressed me more than any other, but Chapter 9 - "The Mighty Atom" is without doubt the most fascinating, jaw-dropping, mind-blowing chapter of any book anywhere. In my opinion, I hastily add.
