This is amazing.

Hello Rubidium-85, you're looking quite radiant today!

(Nobody will get this backwards joke.)
I like the way you think!
...But please stop thinking, it's not you.

Hello Rubidium-85. Big Grin

It's pretty amazing how we can capture such small and fast-moving particles.

Now we can turn them into slaves to build quantum computers.

Hello, little atoms.
I WILL DESTROY YOU!
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925
Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan

That was essentially why they were trying to isolate atoms Smile Now that they have them all by their lonesome they can entangle and start shooting photons at them to control the states of the electrons Smile
