I'm guessing you're right.  I named my son Jacob Maxwell in honour
of his grandad "Jake", and the famous Scottish physicist.  And
he was "born awesome", so it's got to be right.

Well, I'm guessing you're right!  If it made Einstein so upset, he had
to be on the right track.  I figure entanglement is what makes us
alive.

It was a "light" look at the subject. 

Too bad.  If they ever put out the version for dummies, let me know.
