I love that when you mouse over the knee you get an “Easy Quary” message box.

Always remember to consume what the CIA tells you without question. Also,
“quantum”
“If a sentence has the word ‘quantum’ in it, and if it is coming out of a non-physicist’s mouth, you can almost be certain that there’s a huge quantum of BS being dumped on your head.” —Physicist Devashish Singh, quoting a colleague

I am not convinced. It sounds like a good cover story to confuse rag heads.

A quantum discombobulator was used by Lex Luthor against Superman.

oh definitely. It’s like when a 14 year old Russian kid tries to tell you why you should buy his cryptocurrency.

It may be a ruse. So they'd be looking for the sound of a heartbeat...hmmmmm. Suppose we planted "heartbeats" all over a certain area.
Reminds me of when a few of us nice Catholic High School girls climbed into the school lockers.
A bang bang here...a bang bang there...drove the nun who was monitoring the lockers nuts. We could hear the click click of her shoes. Sooooo fun driving a nun nuts. lol
