Caption, from Getty Images: “Lobster being walked on a leash. “ The other day I was at the smoked-fish counter at Balducci’s, a ridiculously high-end grocery store in Bethesda, Md., which I patronize only infrequently because they have sable fish, which I cannot resist due to my Bronx Jewish heritage, but which costs $50 a pound, so I try never to go to Balducci’s unless it is unavoidable.
Backyard bathroom is a rehash of a very old story of a tourist in Italy told to go in the court yard. "Where is it in the court yard. I can not find it?"
How could I have ignored it so long. I must get back to it. Now. I want to burn (metaphorically) those who end comments while I am typing one or just minutes before I can contribute my blather. Also I have comments for all who are hopleessly in hock to others. As a retired person, I may be befuddled, but not in hock.
"Can a solar system full of light from the sun and stars form a quantum volume with interacting photons?
No, a solar system full of light from the sun and stars cannot form a quantum volume with interacting photons. A quantum volume is a measure of the number of quantum states that can be stored in a given volume of space. Photons, the elementary particles of light, cannot interact with each other in the way that would be necessary to form a quantum volume.
Photons are bosons, which means that they can occupy the same quantum state without violating the Pauli exclusion principle. This means that a large number of photons can be packed into a small volume of space. However, photons do not interact with each other in the same way that other bosons, such as atoms or molecules, do. Photons cannot form bound states with each other, and they cannot exchange energy or momentum in the way that other particles can.
For these reasons, it is not possible for a solar system full of light from the sun and stars to form a quantum volume with interacting photons.

what is quantum entanglement to a photon?
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which two or more particles are linked together in such a way that they share the same quantum state, even when they are separated by a large distance. This means that if you measure one particle, you will instantly know the state of the other particle, even if it is on the other side of the universe.
Entanglement is a fundamental property of quantum mechanics, and it has been used to develop many new technologies, such as quantum computing. However, it is still not fully understood how entanglement works, and there are many open questions about its implications for our understanding of the universe.
In the case of a photon, entanglement can occur when two photons are generated from the same source, such as a laser. These photons will be in a state of superposition, meaning that they will be both horizontally and vertically polarized. However, when one photon is measured, it will instantly collapse into a specific polarization state, and the other photon will collapse into the same state, even if it is on the other side of the universe.
This phenomenon of entanglement is not limited to photons, and it can occur with any type of particle. However, photons are particularly well-suited for studying entanglement because they are easily controlled and measured.

Do you think your two statements agree?

I do not think my two statements agree. In my first statement, I said that a solar system full of light from the sun and stars cannot form a quantum volume with interacting photons. In my second statement, I said that quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which two or more particles are linked together in such a way that they share the same quantum state, even when they are separated by a large distance. These two statements are not consistent with each other because they imply that it is possible for photons to interact with each other, which is not possible.
I apologize for the error in my first statement. I am still under development, and I am always learning new things. I will try my best to be more accurate in the future."
If I knew when stocks will be high then low, I would buy now. Then sell when high. and take my profits to buy again when they are low. "Buy low and sell high." Book Trump.
Cater-cornered, mon cul. The correct American usage is ‘catty cornered,’ as affirmed by both Wilson Follett and the following: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lrE7-hXnzDM
Back to needing the money. You're 71 years old. Most people are retired unless they are running for president. There are retirement plans at most c ompanies and social security. We are in the top 1 percent of our neighborhood with only one very very decent union retirement pension (that peol fought for wand wen tot jail with it he 60s) and on efull social security adn one very partial sicn ei wasnt wlrking for 20 years IN NYC . You have been employed for decades at well paying publications, versus those starting now. If you'ree struggling, thats on you. Move. We're 66, retired and rolling in the dough in the hills of eastern PA. ok, nowhere near the top 1 % even here, but still triple the household median.
No doubt smoked Sablefish or Black Cod (a cousin to Chilean Sea Bass, but not Cod) evokes a nostalgic food memory for you Gene. It is tasty certainly, but I suggest, not the best way to prepare this wonderful (and sustainable) fish. Simply and with Asian cooking techniques is the way to go. Having said this, you may want to give Zabar's a miss the next time you're in NYC and develop a craving. The price will make your eyes water. And btw, keeping lobsters as "pets" is pretty common with hardcore aquarists -- although taking "Sandy Claws" on "walkies" is not recommended. Also --- I see by that Getty image you're into Shandong or Lu cuisine. Dachshund with lobster sauce is a speciality.
On the voting poll...given my close proximity to retirement, yes, would take the money. However, I can not imagine any amount of my own research that would convince me that ANOTHER Trump presidency would result in a 300% gain, so the likelyhood of my EVER voting for him is miniscule.
Pat may look askance (be skeptical, disapprove) at/of this, but like translators giving themselves a modicum ( soupçon, certain amount) of artistic license, or radiologists making diagnoses --- I suggest which words are used or replaced often depend on the copy (or other) editors and what they (and editorial management) deem their charter or brief. Considering copy editors appear to be an endangered species, I'm more than willing to put the onus (responsibility, liability) on editorial management.
On the voting poll: I've heard more than one person give that as an excuse for having voted for Trump. But "I did it for the money" is probably the reason the majority of prisoners are prisoners. Many hesitate to actually admit it though, because juries tend to see that less as an "excuse" than as a "motive."

We say catty-cornered in Iowa. I have heard catty and kitty my whole life. Caters are for pillars and waulers.
I just say "diagonally across."

I actually say "catty corner," so I didn't vote.
I LOVED Allan Sherman's stuff! He was no Tom Lehrer, but I still find myself singing bits of his songs:
Don't give me water
I'd rather have selt-zah.
Cuz water don't bubble
And water don't fizz.
Water -- I hate it
Cuz it ain't carbonated
But a glass of selt-zah
On the other hand, is.
And the other day, for some reason, I tried remembering lines from "Sara Jackman":
How's your brother Bentley?
(Feeling better ment'ly)
How's your cousin Ida?
(She's a freedom rider)
What's with uncle Sidney?
(They took out a kidney)
How's your sister Norma?
(She's a non-conforma)
So sorry to learn that he died in such sad straits.
