    I Which object will hit the surface of a planet first?

    People with degrees in physics will ask me questions about their son who is using drugs or about their grandmother who seems confused. I don't accuse them of taking a class in psychology and looking for an answer to a homework assignment. I don't give them a lecture on stimulus response or ask...

    B A view of the double-slit experiment

    I may have missed an answer but most people are missing the point. IT DOESN'T BOUNCE with one slit. There is a reason why they use to slits. Take one electron at a time. With one slit it goes right through. In other words with one slit it acts like a particle. If it bounced around it would do...
