I had seen that, didn't read it all. Never even occcured to me that was why
this was brought up here. You know... I think photons might be able to do
anything needed to prove that theory. I say that in jest though.

I just watched a Twilight Zone episode that ended as I went to reply to this
message. A lady that is eventually replaced by her double while she waits
for a bus, and the guy she confides in about it has her taken away by the
police. Then he himself also encounters his duplicate. This reminded me of
the Shrodinger's Cat of quantum theory where particles might be in two
places at once. dee-dee-dee-dee, dee-dee-dee-dee  ;-)
