		<description>Something very much like this happened to me, but I don&#039;t wish to publish the details in public.  How may I contact you privately, Tim?</description>

		<description>quantum wormholes don&#039;t have to have infinite length in the time dimension. seems possible enough &gt;:D</description>

		<description>Oh, I am awful, aren&#039;t I. Presenting standard quantum results as used in modern experimental technique and saying that the philosophical interpretations of them have not been finally thrashed out, rather than citing the handful of physicists who have the &#039;truth&#039;.

Bad debunking Scary. Bad skeptical scientist. Go sit on the naughty state of an infinite quantum well.</description>

		<description>Now that&#039;s interesting, am I a man because I talk physics, because I&#039;m on the internet, because I&#039;m a doubting thomas or because I have a silly pirate name? Or was it just a fifty-fifty chance that went wrong? We shall never know.

Regarding vacuum energy in the context of C.O.E ( as it&#039;s known to its friends), I always understood that the level of energy was only constant on average - you&#039;re allowed to pinch some as long as you return it in a time interval such that amount of energy borrowed times time borrowed for is less than or equal to planck&#039;s constant. The consequences of this can be observed, for instance, as the Casimir force, or in the incidence of some &#039;forbidden&#039; decays, whereby A changes into C via an intermediary particle B which has a higher mass-energy (massrgy?) than A. 
You can maintain a strict C.O.E interpretation in the face of this by invoking the multiverse, true, but whether this is acceptable to Mr. Ockham is a moot point. Personally I am of the opinion that positing an infinity of other universes is far from the simplest and most elegant solution.

Dual slit, surely?</description>

On theory? Or actually proven in experiments?</description>

		<description>Actually, Scary&#039;s post, it&#039;s not trying to debunk anything -- it&#039;s just pointing out (and quite fairly, too) that I wasn&#039;t especially rigorous with my characterisation of the physics. I happen to know that Scary is a professional physicist currently working at CERN. If she says that there&#039;s doubt amongst physicists, she&#039;s just laying it down like it is. She didn&#039;t say at any point that  she thought my experience was impossible, or that she doubted me -- just that she wasn&#039;t convinced with my interpretation of the QM info I cited!</description>

		<description>The commenter above, Scary, is one of those debunkers who probably truly believes what he&#039;s espousing are &quot;facts,&quot; when the truth is he&#039;s just projecting his own skeptical opinion and quoting those who support his biased POV.  For the truth about recent incredible discoveries in Quantum Physics, read Dr. Fred Alan Wolf (his book &quot;Parallel Universes&quot; says how indeed they are proved in quantum mechanics), Dean Radin, Amit Goswami, Dr. Charles Tart, to name just a handful out of the many physicists out there who believe this sort of thing is indeed possible.</description>
