Gerhard Paulus and coworkers have conducted the double-slit experiment using a double-slit in time, not space. The "slit" was a crafted femtosecond pulse consisting of one-and-a-half cycles passed through an argon gas. Each maxima has a probability of ionizing an argon atom and producing an electron. The electrons were accelerated to a detector which observed an interference pattern since the detector had no idea which maximum produced the electron.Action at a distance again... Brings to mind the Hawking quote referring to the Einstein quote. Albert: God does not play dice. Stephen: Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

Former Byrds guitarist Roger McGuinn was shot down by record companies that grabbed nearly all of the profits from his hit songs. Now he builds his own computers, records at home, and sells directly to fans. O'Reilly's Digital Media discusses his use of technology and his recordings and interviews him, tr3 k001!Brian's blog is one that I visit every day -- good stuff, grabs your brain and shakes it up a bit...

I'm glad I ran across your reference to Roger McGuinn. I've always liked his work. The last album I bought of his was ,"Back From Rio". It had some really good cuts. I even referenced his version of Dylan's, "Younger than Yesterday", in one of my posts.
