``We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible,
absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and
which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics.”

John,
For my advanced 3D students, I have a practicum class. I find a client, set up a modeling/animation project or projects, and put the two together.…And one of the things I'd wanted to ask you about at Necronomicon was about the double slit experiment.
Best,Larry

``In reality, it contains the only mystery. We cannot make the
mystery go away by 'explaining' how it works. We will just tell
you how it works. In telling you how it works we will have told
you about the basic peculiarities of all quantum mechanics.''
