Quantum spins: So you think you can do a chaotic dance
eurekalert.org — A University of Utah study is shedding light on an important, unsolved physics problem: the relationship between chaos theory – which is based on 300-year-old Newtonian physics – and the modern theory of quantum mechanics.

digg == busted- speedk0re, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0you forgot the semicolons. This will not execute.
- simpleid, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0... digg is busted because you don't know how the algorithm works, yea?
maybe you just don't like it that something science related actually made it to the front page. i think you're looking for 4chan. - shakebabies, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0digg finally serves up something to read and all people can say is "DIGG IS BROKEN!"?
- ieatpizza, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0and CAPTCHAs, wtf?
digg is becoming more useless by the minute. maybe the devs are having a hissy fit about google walking away from the purchase so they're throwing a bunch of stupid crap on their site.
pretty smart for google to walk away, after seeing this- zaduma, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0google didn't walk away... they were never in negotiations... watch some f'in diggnation.
- S1L3NTC, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1So when did Digg decide to start manipulating votes a la Diebold?
- JazminMillion, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I like they have the contact info at the top and at the bottom of the page just in case you want to call and check up on what they are doing!

www.unews.utah.edu- geekchic, on 08/07/2008, -0/+0You mean putting contact information on a release so you can verify the information is bad?
- afireinside13t, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1I'm curious whether the ordered behavior is really a result of chaos theory. It seems like the spins are coupling and then moving towards their steady state solution. If you take any system of coupled differential equations, you'll end up with a steady state solution (although I may have no idea what is going on with the quantum mechanics).
- GalaxyJob, on 08/07/2008, -0/+1One can explain and imagine everything in quantum theory if s/he can think about particles as small bubbles: you cannot tell for sure about certain point on bubble's surface "this is all bubble" + bubble persists in all points of it's surface at once. Except that electrons, protons, neutrons aren't actual bubbles but thoroidal vortexes in thin gas - still atoms and moleculas acts like foam (bubbles attracts each other - remember?)
