Today’s Science Sermon
"Quantum accidents happen all the time.
Why haven’t I simply vanished into a quantum fizz
like Schrodinger’s cat, both dead and alive
at the same time? I can only conclude that
there is safety and stability in the astronomical
numbers of which we are composed.
Perhaps the large numbers constitute a bulwark
against quantum uncertainty. So I am here — I think."
— Dennis Overbye in the New York Times ,
Update of 1:20 p.m. ET the same day —
"And what is your bulwark against the Heisenberg group?"
