I understand. I was trying ask about whether or not, if there were say 10^10^10 slits, would the electron go through all of them. Do we know for sure?
Also, I want the inside of time answer. Right now, in the multiverse, it seems like the number of differentiated states may be a very large number, but is it infinite? I expect the answer to be no, but I'm no expert. On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 11:10 AM, Abram Demski <[email protected]>wrote: > > Fragamus, > > That depends on definitions!
