Everything Is Mostly Something After All

If you're one of the regular readers of this blog you may recall the recent post whereupon I waxed hyperbolic about the spatial characteristics of subatomic particles.

I stand enlightened.

One Alex Turner was kind enough to point out--via comment--that the model I referred to wasn't giving us the whole story. Alex dutifully informs us that the model only holds true if you think of atoms as particles but then completely falls apart when you think of them as waves.

This, if I remember collegiate-level physics correctly, refers to the old wave-particle duality bit that so many nerds love to joke about at parties.

So, while it's a major bummer to learn that Kitty Pryde was a sham and there will be no strolling unheeded into bank vaults in my future, we are grateful to Mr. Turner for his insight.

Next Issue: "I Saw Maxwell's Demon in My Bong Smoke!"

Cheers.
