Talking of Stephen Hawking, I watched Gangs of New York with him this evening. He thought it was ace. Which just goes to show that he doesn't know everything about everything. If you are as famous as he is, with the reputation he has, it is not surprising that people ask him questions that don't really have any relation to his work. The general consensus, as far as I can see, is that he has done some good research into black holes but is not some sort of mystical prophet or something. The main reason for his fame is that he is in a wheel chair, speaks with that electronic voice and keeps saying

"AS WE MOVE INTO THE FUTURE, THE MYSTERIES OF THE U-I-NI-VERSE WILL BE WITHIN THE GRASP OF MODERN SCIENCE" etc.

You are apparently still clinging to your idea that light is both a particle and a wave. It is not. Anyone with a degree in physics will tell you this. We *model* light as a wave sometimes, and as a particle sometimes. The business of physics is creating models, not pronouncing deep facts about the world. You do not seem to have grasped this. Perhaps they do not teach that in A-level physics. I can't remember, because I am so elderly and wise.

As for the Law of Contradiction, it is simply ~(A&~A). The Bertrand G. Wronglotion Quantum Challenge 2003 is thus to derive statements which counter this law. You have as yet failed to do this. I believe you will continue to fail. 'We could not -say- of an "unlogical" world how it would look.'
