I just read the New Scientist article "Quantum Rebel" last night about
Shariar Afshar's work on the double slit experiment. Ingenious as the
experiment is, I really don't think it says anything about different
interpretations of QM. Indeed, the outcome of the experiment is just

I also deleted everything immediately, fearing the viral possibilities of

I agree. But imagine the usual two-slit set-up. And this
unusual screen,
This is confusing because "I believe p" has two different meanings.
One is that I have written down "p" with a number in front of it,
as one of my theorems. The other meaning is the string "Bp".
But that string only has meaning from the perspective of an outside
observer. To me, as the machine,

Is it some overzealous defang program the removes the body as well as
the attachment?
I don't care if the attachment is removed - it doesn't contain
information - its purpose is to authenticate the letter only, and can
