Of course I hope you are right, but if after the past decade and everything that has happened, that has been said, this election seems to be in a dead heat instead of Harris/Waltz winning by anything other than a landslide, I hold no illusions about the intelligence and decency of the “average” american voter, these people are already dead inside, or at least not too far removed from illiterate medieval peasants, easily dazzled by bullshit and god-kings with magic political wands… abraca-fucking-dabra.

A specific vibration or position of the atoms, containing the information of changes in movement…
That’s high-tech indeed, but still sounds like classical physics to me, even with the ultra-cold temperatures involved, no Uncertainty Principle at play.

Argh! Edited the title, thank you for the correction.

Anyway, I believe they freeze lithium atoms very near Absolute Zero, so the electrons slow down, but because of the Uncertainty Principle, the lithium atoms’ orbitals expand and overlap, creating a sort of gel where they can trap photons (I imagine from a laser) and slow them down to zero.

They commodified it and sold it back to Satan on a t-shirt.
