Yes. I often wonder, once everything is understood and in its place, how<br>
many amazing breakthrough can be achieved through quantum mechanices, in<br>
the same way that electricity has been milked for a long time for many<br>
amazing breakthroughs.<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Nearly all modern technology is based on quantum mechanics.
