Or at least, thats how I understand it..

You'll have to excuse my responses if they are a off, Im still learning about these things but trying hard to get my head around the idea of quantum mechanics.
Hey I know zip about any of this I only repeat stuff I read or at least my impression of what I have read... for the most part it is so beyond me I dont know why I bother... but in time I learn something and move a little ways forwards.
