Spatial thanks.  It perhaps shoulda been spelled spacial, because it
pertains to one of the three space dimensions, as opposed to the temporal or
time dimension.  But microsloth keeps wanting to change it to special, and
perhaps it does look too much like special.  So spatial it is.  {8-]  And
shoulda shoulda been spelled should have, because that is how we say it, ja?

Feyman had it before Cramer, or at least a puzzling version of it.

intuition that the Quantum Zeno effect might derive from superposed
activities in adjacent, only slightly divergent M-W realities where
intentionally directed activities reinforce or prohibit a certain outcome,
unlike ordinary stochastic radioactivity, say, where the "shadow overlaps"
in/from nearby worlds are arbitrary. Might this have an impact on big beam
programs, say, perhaps delaying or inhibiting some otherwise possible
outcomes (Higgs manifestations, e.g.)?  Damien Broderick


Hey that one works as well as any of the others I have heard.  Good show, me
lad!
