From the few conversations I've had with the sort of physicists who deal with the quantum and particle-type stuff
"Not actually forbidden" isn't quite the same as "Possible in theory"

My father is hugely into that stuff
and from what I gather in real terms it might as well be declared impossible. Shame though.

Does he drive a DeLorean?

Ford Mustang last time I was over there, the midlife-crisis cock-end.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 26 Apr 2010, 17:25, Reply)

That is quite poor.
I imagined that he would import an MGB and drive that around.

Have a word with him will you.

How funny.
When he moved to the UK that was the first car he had.

Can't he just leave you both daughters?

Yeah
Flog the rougher of the two to an Arab once you've 'finished with her', then buy a car with the money.

As long as it's a classic "Bullet era" Mustang

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 26 Apr 2010, 17:28, Reply)

Yeah, but driven round at less than 70mph. It just aint right.

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Mon 26 Apr 2010, 17:30, Reply)

70 was probably it's top speed, old cars are fairly rubbish
but very beautiful
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Mon 26 Apr 2010, 17:30, Reply)

Its not the speed that's important,
Its the rubbish handling. No brakes, crap steering, terrible road noise. It takes bottle just to get it to 70.

Exactly and always make sure not to mix radial and crossply tyres

Isn't that like remembering not to cross the streams?

I think it is. Fucking old anyway.
I know precisely zero about cars, and care about them slightly less than that.

The way it was summed up for me
-and this was coming from a bloke who, last time I bumped into him, was due to head off to CERN, so I presumed to trust his judgement -

was, "Strictly speaking, the laws of quantum mechanics contain nothing to forbid the universe spontaneously rearranging itself into a giant daisy, it's just that the probability of that happening is so ridiculously tiny it's not worth considering."
