Post 65: Debunking Collapses—Wave Functions, Bees, Bridges (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The second law of thermodynamics which states in common parlance that things left to themselves only get worse over time—is strong, and so although you can run from it, you can’t really hide… or hive, as the case may be (read on ….)Colony Collapse Disorder |This sounds like something that happens to cults, but this isn’t about cults—that is unless you think of beehives as cults, which they admittedly kind of are.
