Yesterday was Sunday, and so Jacqueline and I did, as seems to be our habit, discuss quantum-related issues, partly with the need to post chapter 4 of the Quantum Biology series in mind. However, for all sorts of good reasons, we are still refining that, even though almost all the key decisions have now been made. So we agreed to offer this instead of a Quantum Essay.
Other essays in this series:
- The Quantum Economics series (this link opens a tab with them all in it)

I think Flanders & Swann have helped me to understand why so little that is useful, comes out of Starmer’s cold-hearted Labour Party. It isn’t working.
Thank you.
This labour government knows no heat, has no dynamics and does not work. They adhere to static equilibrium of the past. They are stuck fast, petrified of change. Yes we can? No we can’t and we won’t.
F and S – great stuff!
Funnily enough , on a Sunday we have still not reached that state of needing to discuss Quantum – related issues. Maybe we will one day.
Can you do one with Tom Lehrer?
I don’t know his music – direct me to where I should be looking.
All on YouTube. Try Pollution, Vatican Rag, Whos; Next, National Brotherhood Week. Many people love the Elements song, which is one of the few with no political point.
Thanks
My father loved Tom Lehrer’s music so I was brought up listening to it. He was a mathematician and musician who I am amazed to just discover (thank you John Boxall) died this year aged 97. In 2022 he relinquished all rights over his music so that it would be available free in the public domain and made it available to all for download and streaming here:
