Very true. But it should be added that some work is going on in quantum computing/error correction, and quantum communication with...

Theories can only be tested so far. It's an open question whether a cat could tunnel through a wall by sheer randomness. The probability...

If you've lost your cat, don't blame Quantum Mechanics.

When you talk about a "infinite", are you talking about a distance/metric, or are you talking about the number of elements in the set A...
