Regarding the path of least resistance and particles taking every single path - this is something I knew - and I am very much a "believer" (if you have to "believe" in science?) that the Universe cannot possibly have only the one simultaneous existence. In many of them, I am probably already dead. Every possible outcome for every possible particle is an unfathomable quantum of what we might only be able to describe as a "Realm" - to which I refer to the universes beyond the one in which you and I appear to be having a shared ontology.

I know that your by-line states that your sons are better men than you, so please don't let me mince words when I say that your statements represent greatness - deep thought, meditation, and consideration to all of the points, and to tangents too.

I am always pleased (and grateful) whenever I get a reply from you, it gives me much food for thought. Many thanks!
