BILLY, WHAT’S YOUR PROBLEM, CHAMP? QUIT FIDGETING AND PAY ATTENTION. STORY’S JUST GETTING INTERESTING.

SORRY, GRANDPA.

SO IT WAS SCHRÖDINGER WHO FIRST COINED THE TERM ‘ENTANGLEMENT’ AS IT APPLIES TO QUANTUM MECHANICS IN A LETTER TO EINSTEIN (ONLY HE CALLED IT VERSCHRÄNKUNG BECAUSE THEY WERE GERMAN. WELL, SCHRÖDINGER WAS AUSTRIAN, BUT YOU GET THE IDEA). THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BACK IN ‘35 OR ‘36. AFTER THAT, HE PUBLISHED HIS PAPER ON THE SUBJECT, AND IT WAS A DOOZY, WITHOUT WHICH WE NEVER WOULD HAVE HAD BOHM’S INTERPRETATION ON LOCALITY, AND SUBSEQUENTLY BELL’S THEOREM THAT QUANTUM PHYSICS HAS TO VIOLATE EITHER THE LOCALITY PRINCIPLE OR COUNTERFACTUAL DEFINITENESS.

THAT ONE CAME ALONG IN ‘63 OR ‘64. I CAN’T REMEMBER, BUT HOO BOY, THOSE WERE SOME FUN TIMES FOR US BACK IN THE LABS …

One pumpkin to scare them all
One pumpkin to find them
One pumpkin to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them

I spent my annual pumpkin carving efforts on this little beauty. It was quite hard to get the intricate curves and swirls of the writing carved right, but I still think it’s a pretty epic pumpkin 8D

He’s losing something important today. Two things to be exact. Poor dear, he may need some cheering up. Can any of you redesign one of the pictures of Arthur? Do something creative in photoshop? Make him a sparkly unicorn? Give him some fun friends? I dunno. Use photo reply with your best shot! I’ll post my favorites. X

50 teachers, 9 states, 1 President’s Civil War Grandmother

This week the Truman Library is hosting their annual teacher conference with the theme of “Kansas, Missouri, and the Civil War, 1854-1865.” 50 teachers from 9 states are attending. One of today’s speakers will be talking about Truman and his grandparents experience in the Civil War. This photo is of President Truman’s grandmother, Mary Jane Holmes Truman.

Mary Jane Holmes Truman was the daughter of Captain Jesse Holmes and Nancy Tyler Holmes. The original 5 x 7 photo photo is undated.

You can follow the conference on the Discussion Board of the Library’s Facebook page.

What was the world like for your grandmother?
