Cheese, then.
Should this now be called the "teenandrandom20yearoldwhoreallyoughttogetoutmorescienceforum"?

Even I have a life, believe it or not. And yet I still end up on here for some reason...
CRF mentioned an experiment in which information on some property of a photon (its polarisation, I think) which was transmitted to another photon at a speed exceeding that of light.
Re dark matter, which I thought I'd drag over here because it seemed more like physics than chemistry: scientists gave dark matter a name in order to give everyone else the impression that they knew what it was. In fact, "dark matter" is just the name given to stuff which they haven't managed to identify yet, or even to somewhere where they'd like stuff to be because that would fit in with their theories, despite the fact that they've no idea if there actually is anything there at all. The stuff you find at the bottom of your locker at the end of each school year might well be dark matter, as no scientist is likely to be dare to get near enough to it to prove otherwise.

Dark matter ent glowing, so they don't really know where it is except from the gravitationa effects of non-dark matter.

Anybody read Quantum Theory for Beginners? I read it, but didn't get a word of it.

Nah. I liked The Elegant Universe - that was good.
More string than plain quantum, but still...

Reread it and it's still confuzzling. I love physics.

I like physcis, but I don't get most of the stuff on these boards. Funnily enough, the science boards on this forum have remained fairly sciency
