    'There is a duality in this thread' - That's what we call it when a thread becomes a string.

    While we're on the subject of duality, what's the speed of dark?

    Here's a good article on the Quantum Zeno Effect, which is what I was referring to.

    .. When a single measurement pulse was sent at the end of the test, nearly all the ions were found to be in the higher state, as one might expect. More frequent laser pulses caused the number of ions in the higher energy state to decrease. When 64 pulses the largest number used-were sent, essentially none of the atoms was able to jump to the higher level. The measurement pulses occurred so often that there was no time for each ion's uncertainty to become large enough to permit it to reach the upper level. ..

    That's putting a negative spin on it.

    I know. Everybody's lepton to the bandwagon now.
