'Wave functions', string theory, etc., is just an If-Then-Else loop. A particle keeps vibrating, representing endless possible outcomes, until variable 'x' changes indicating the act of observing and then the loop reaches a conclusion and the particle assumes the state represented by the condition it's in when observed. Endless possibilities until the particle is observed, loop is exited, and a final determination is made.
.... if you don't understand, or care about, a subject, why respond? These comments are ludicrous! Nano-technology is at the same time both fascinating and one of the scariest things I have studied (next to cloning). It could be a boon to mankind or our demise.
But I played into your hand, oh well, be that as it may, I'm climbing back to my level where you can't reach me.
I have been a Ham for quite awhile. One of the things we do out of necessity (to keep costs down, since it is a hobby) is bounce signals off of things, such as buildings, mountains, the moon, and even meteors. Another naturally occuring phenomenon we use is the Aurora (makes a good mirror!)

If you think this is interesting check out the old thriller movie 'Monolith Monsters'. From the '50s or '60s. Anyone remember it?
