...part of quantum physics is the study of time inside quanta such as photons. Did you know that a photon can be in two places at once?

Or more accuratly, it's position can't be determined, and it can have effects such that it has interferred with itself.
Double slits, anyone?
time inside quanta = wha? quanta = little bits, can't have anything smaller i.e. a photon = quantum [singular] of light

As in, how quanta esperience time is different to how we experience time.

Yep, like if you move fast enough, time slows down. But that would happen on a macroscopic scale too, if only enough energy is ploughed into the object.

I wasjust admiring the scienceness of this. Sorry MOQ and CRG but I shall delete thiose posts because this was actually sciency, and I was quite interested. Do you mean a microscopic scAQLE, MOQ, or is Macroscopic a word?

Macroscopic is that which is not microscopic.

Big stuff, then?
I have a magazine article about string theory I'm still trying to get my head around ...

Like with weather things ... I forget what they were called ... I'll look them up later.

The only weather things I can think of are those weather balloon things that keep being UFOed. I don't think that's what you meant though.

Have you looked them up yet Stephi?

Do you think I should contact Stephi via elsewhere to get her to stop by?

Yes, that would be a good idea.
