pre yeah yeah it's called the delayed choice quantum eraser yeah yeah where they actually create two particles right one of them goes through the standard path and the other one goes on a very very long journey where they can erase the history they've done this actually over in the canary islands a big multi-island quantum eraser

Yeah, and they kind of end up at the same place.

If it's possible through data analysis after the fact to reverse engineer which way the thing went, then there will be no interference.

But if you erase it and you make it impossible, then the interference shows up again.

It's pretty crazy.

I think it's worth trying.

Yeah, I think so.

I mean, that's really the point of physics and why I'm interested in AI models too.

I think they could be solvable.

Are you into puzzles?

I like to play around with puzzles from time to time, yeah.

But math scratches the puzzle itch for you?

I think so.

I mean, puzzles...

They're a good way to pass time for sure, but I don't think, I think it's different than true understanding.

It's almost like a game.

How mathematically interested are you?

I'm interested, but I don't know anything about it.

I can tell you my favorite simple math problem.

I think it illustrates this sort of difference between math being sort of like a computational thing and more artistic conceptual.
