| OK, I know. It's quantum mechanics. Featuring the double slit experiment, some imaginary animal cruelty, a fangirly t-shirt, a bad joke and a chicken. I'm sorry for those who expected or wanted me to behave like a proper English teacher with a passion for languages and literature, I also know, that even people interested in science back out of quantum physics, because all the prettiness of facts we can be sure of is lost. But... hell, it's just so exiting! Give it a try? (Can I just point out that I personally hated maths and physics back at school. Today, I know that it was more due to the way science gets taught at school than to the subject. So there's my excuse for putting this on you.) There were no animals harmed before, during or after the filming of the video. Focus, people! The cat was only a drawing and Gri-Gri, my beautiful Cambridge Blue, is fine, too. All drawings are my own, my me me mine my... my precious!

Mind you, stuff like that is good for your intellectual faculty, triggers your brain by provoking criticism. So ... |
