never-never land of substituting math for common sense is disturbing for simpleminded non-mathematicians, no matter how advanced they want to think. Multiverse fits, with enough (non-math) imagination, string does not. This is my way to look at it, I am not ready to defend it. Especially not on the

All, New Scientist has a very interesting article this week about free will, reality and entanglement. Worth a look. Additionally, for the trivia fans among you, it seems one of the researchers quoted has clocked similarity effects associated with entanglement at something like (minimum

"Nothing but noise" - article in New Scientist

2000-02-28 Thread Selwyn St Leger
Hi, I found an article in New Scientist that might have a bearing on some of the discusions here. New Scientist is a popular British Science magazine along the lines of Scientific American but not quite as good. The article is entitled "Nothing but noise" and describes the work of
