Not sure why, clear rational thinking always seem to lead towards optimism

“decided to work on the problem anyway”
Fun criterion!!
Ah yes! I recall that exact moment. I was trying to prove that quantum theory was local.
It turned out that @DavidDeutschOxf and Patrick Hayden had already proved that!
I ended up ignoring their result and decided to work on the problem anyway.
Best decision of my life.

Vlatko Vedral and Roger Penrose are among authors of an experiment that has made the first direct measurement of the quantum phase of a freely falling object.
Good Physics teachers are great sales people
They can convince people of crazy things like - Time is relative, space time is bent
They can convince people reality itself is not what it seems to be
