...quantum scale, things become more confusing, and particles can register both 0 and 1 at the same time, or a little bit “no,” but mainly “yes,” and vice versa. This corresponds to the weird uncertainties associated with quantum mechanics, and turns out to be one of the important things that makes the world work...
...surrounding neighborhood. That would avoid the duplication of costs when cities build, say, public libraries and school libraries. Other cities, including Chicago and Providence, R.I., have adopted the approach in individual neighborhoods, but no other city has thought about attempting it across the board. "It will be a quantum leap," says Steven Bingler, head of Concordia LLC, a New Orleans--based architecture and planning firm that has been spearheading the effort. "And it will be one of those things that it took a hurricane to get there...
...earth?s climate is so complicated that science is still struggling to figure it out. That?s why - unlike something like, say, quantum physics - it?s hard to make accurate predictions about what will happen. So it came as no surprise, in a sense, that climate observers announced a huge surprise yesterday at the American Association for the Advancement of Science?s annual conference, in St. Louis: the glaciers of Greenland, which carry ice from the interior out to the sea, have gone on a tear. They?re flowing, on average, about twice as fast as they were a decade...

...just go off. If you hung out with us, it gets quite jazz. We're united by deep curiosity. So from stand-up comedy to quantum physics, there's nothing we don't cover. For me, that's what makes [good] company...
