You are forgiven; we'll file that as "random thermal noise" :-)


The thing that presently intrigues me most about the quantom world is 
the question: Do probability waveforms really always /collapse/ when 
particles interact - in the sense that the resulting effect is 
/definite/ - or do they just "narrow down"?

That is, if for instance you do the double-slit experiment with single 
particles, firing them at a photographic plate - will this really result 
in a pattern of exposed spots on an otherwise non-exposed plate, or will 
it rather result in a pattern of spots that are 99.99999% likely to be 
exposd, on a plate otherwise 99.99999% likely to be non-exposed?

Or, to put it in other words: Is /fact/ something that actually 
manifests whenever independent particles interact, or is it just an 
illusion all throughout, and "independent" particles are merely just 
"weakly entangled"?
