Well, that's why they invented photons, to save the point. and forget about thinking and other things. Which is also why non-fools invented holographic memory, flash memory, self-assembling robots, multiplayered laser disks, multiplexed fiber optics, external emualtors, external hardisks, and Post GM Spam-A-Thons.

Unfortunately it can be lied in just like any other language. F = ma is literally and technically a lie, force does NOT equal mass times acceleration. If it did I'd be accelerating, I can feel a force on my butt as I sit in my chair not accelerating. Now I want to know what a force IS and not what it is capable of doing. A force is a force is a force, of course, but not a horse. At some point one must fall back on intuition. > For this purpose the > electron can no longer be approximated as a point particle. Ok, an electron is not a point particle ... but it CAN be approximated as one just as the Earth and Sun can. You can be approximated as a human being, as a mammal, as an animal, as a living object, as matter. Point particles are ideal mathematical models of what takes place in a CRT. Note: Anyone can say what something isn't. Saying what it is is much harder.
