Science Wednesday II

The other day over at Mind over Blather, Taylor had a good post about time, and how nothing that she new of happened instantaneous. So I recommended a site that pretty well explains Quantum Physics in layman's terms and talks about something that happens that fast.

Since I intend on doing a Science Wednesday post every week or two, and my favorite subject will be Quantum Physics, if you think you might want to follow along, but don't really know a lot about it, here is the sight for your reading pleasure.

It drags in a couple of places, but I promise that by the end of it (10 minutes) you will have a good basic understanding of Quantum terminology and some of the more intriguing aspects of the discipline.

Next week we will be talking about Quantum Entanglement, and the effect Einstein called "spooky."

Hint: An effect that travels at faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second) which the famous equation E=MC2 says in not possible. But it happens none the less..


That is all...
