I read about the triple slit experiment
I read about the triple slit experimentSomeone went and got me a subscription to Scientific American, which is nice. Haven’t read one of those since before my PhD.

There is the "fight" or "crusade" against cancer; cancer is the "killer" disease; people who have cancer are "cancer victims." Ostensibly, the illness is the culprit. But it is also the cancer patient who is made culpable. Widely believed psychological theories of disease assign to the ill the ultimate responsibility both for falling il...
