-Saturday night.
+That branch of [[physics]] which studies [[matter]] and [[energy]] at the level of [[atom]]s and other [[elementary]] [[particle]]s, and substitutes [[probabilistic]] mechanisms for [[classical]] [[Newtonian]] ones.
-Saw ''[[Lust, Caution]]'' with Lai and Stef.
-The night before, ''[[The Third Wheel]]''. Memorable scenes include "Who's on the bus" routine by  [[Jay Lacopo]], an actor who I hadn't seen before. Very nice. I only saw the last 20 minutes, but this film is a [[sleeper]].
-I started watching Winterbottom's latest, ''[[A Cock and Bull Story]]''<hr>
-:"It is probably true quite generally that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments frequently take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet.  These lines may have their roots in quite different parts of human nature, in different times or different cultural environments or different religious traditions:  hence if they actually meet, that is, if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow."  - [[Werner Heisenberg]], founder of [[quantum mechanics]]
