A recent article to be published in Foundations of Physics involves laser light experiments which indicate that light consists of waves and particles, presumably very fast particles of some sort and waves which those particles create as they travel through some sort of a medium.

Albert Einstein is considered one of the greatest natural philosopher in history. Most people are familiar with his famous statement dismissing quantum physics uncertainty principle:  

"God does not play dice with the universe."

However, most people do not know that he made the statement to his colleague and friendly rival, Niels Bohr, who made the less famous reply:

"Albert, stop telling God what to do."

I tend to agree with Bohr, and with God, of course. 

I also tend to use this quote when dealing with many televangelists, most Imams and Mullahs and just about anyone prattling on about man made global warming.

Dang, all this time I was sure my Z car is gold. This shakes that all up. I can’t be sure it’s gold, or if it’s even a car.

Must be supernatural ;0)

Einstein could not believe that the world was really so indeterminate. He supposed that a deeper level of reality had yet to be uncovered — so-called 'hidden variables' that specified an object's properties precisely and in strictly local terms.

I'll vote with Einstein; the only problem is that he's dead and we don't have a replacement for him.

"Our paper is not the end of the road," he says. "But we have a little more evidence that the world is really strange."

...or charm - but what color is it?

Thanks for the ping. Thanks for the ping to the GB Probe thread as well. Too bad the stuck on stupid types got there first. (Why I did not post on it)

but what color is it?

I believe its mauve
