OK random, but one of places I send my mind when I am bored is on an imaginative tour of Quantum Mechanics. I try to imagine such weirdness as the schrodinger's cat paradox. I tell my pupils at school that imagination is everything in science. Unless you can imagine it, then you don't really understand it. I don't understand an 11 dimensional universe because I can't imagine it. But quantum physics, the nightmare of my university degree, does seem to make sense really late at night just before I go to sleep. When it crystallises into a picture that I can explain I will write a bit more about it. Until then let me leave you with this quote from C. S. Lewis's "God in the Dock"
"If a man doubts whether he is dreaming or waking, no experiment can solve his doubt, since every experiment may itself be part of the dream"
