People watching the first Matrix experienced an […]
Today we going to talk about Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics! I’m surprised that many smart people still think that quantum mechanics requires some sort of “observers” and assign mystical significance to these “observers”.

P90X is a home fitness program developed by Tony Horton & Beachbody. P90X demonstrates a brilliant social design that is so successful that many Silicon Valley startups would envy it even today, a full decade after P90X launch.

What force seems […]
