Scientific experimentation has presumed that clear answers to questions (hypotheses) are needed to arrive at meaningful answers. However, the Quantum Cafe clearly disregards any such rules and any answer is possible in the Quantum World. It states that all of the universe is a game of chance.
Angelus Silesius was a 6th century philosopher and poet. He stated:
Time is of your own making;
its clock ticks in your head.
The moment you stop thought
time too stops dead.
In one of the very lucid books on quantum physics, "In search of Schrodinger's Cat", John Gribbin writes, "it is interesting that there are limits to our knowledge of what an electron is doing when we are looking at it, but it is absolutely mind-blowing to discover that we have no idea at all what it is doing when we are not looking at it".
In Quantum physics, the observer can not only influence the results of what he/she is observing but also determine whether the observed phenomenon (reality) happens or not in the first place.

These are great too!
I am enjoying the slow, inexorable creep of Geekiness that I feel coming over me... I am allowing birdwatching to join the cycles.. For today!
I'll find links. Somehow!
