• Quantum theory’s predictions really aren’t that bizarre, you know.
  

  Anon, that’s a silly thing to say - these ideas have EVERYTHING to do with life. Without it, you’d have no computer to write on, no cellular to call friends on, no stereo to listen to the radio… the list goes on.

  The bars - the burglar proofing bars I first wrote about (first post). Da-11, don’t be a hater! Haha, there’s no point really. It’s just a free forum to write in and share thoughts.
  
  Washu, yeah! It’s pretty interesting. We already know a large object won’t go through something solid simply because the probability is so low it just isn’t feasible. But the point is - it CAN! Again, it won’t. But it can!
  
  Yes! There you go. Things “tunnel” (ie go straight through one another) all the time inside the atom. Our modern electronics and communications are all based on this idea. It’s just fascinating - it works perfectly on the scale of things that are very small. It just can’t work on very big scales (like a bowling ball, Washu!) because big things are made up of zillions upon zillions of particles - so each of those particles (which, on their own have a fair chance of tunneling) have to all tunnel at the same time. It’s a bit like flipping a coin zillions of times and expecting the same result each time - the chance of that happening is very low, but it could happen, no? Of course, flipping a coin is 50% probability, but in this case, for particles, the probability depends on certain conditions. But you get the idea?

• I just joined this site and I think it’s very odd how there are so many suicide posts.
  

  Mr Flames, certainly I’d love to chat. You seem like a fantastically open-minded person. But how will we talk? If I give you my e-mail I’m bound to be spammed. Actually, I’ll give you an alias. Send a message to thomas_mayers6051 at hotmail dot com, and I can reply from there fairly safely. Take care, mate! Talk to you soon.

  Course, we’re all saying our goodbyes down here, just in case it does end up destroying us all. Course, I’m also playing the lottery every week just in case I win it a few times in a row.
