... one at the time from a reactor at an average speed of 2200 meters per second, which is approximately 5000 miles per hour, and on average they are separated by a distance of 300 meters. This means that there will never be more than one single neutron within the crystal. In point of fact, when a given ...

... otherwise, if the bomb is a dud, the photon will pass through unaffected. When a photon passes through a half-silvered plane mirror, it enters a quantum superposition of all possible outcomes, which interact with each other. The photon is both transmitted and reflected, and takes both paths through ...
