Hi Mary,

Something will come along and push it into the dynamic unknown, but meanwhile 
it is amazing what they can hypothesis.  And even more amazing what faint image 
in a bubble chamber or cloud chamber can stand for proof.  Of all the sandboxes 
around, that's the one I'd like to be playing in.  The answers, they insist, lay outside 
our "human" ability to understand.  I suppose anything is possible in that place, and 
there's no way mere mortals can challenge them.     

Entanglement I find most exciting because it's most like Indra's net of jewels metaphor.   
What a game!
