A hundred years ago, it's certainly true that to drive a car you kind of needed to know a lot about the mechanics of the car and how the ignition timing worked and all sorts of things.
We've put a bunch of game mechanics in there, where you get badges, we're going to start having leader boards by area, you get points.
In the 1970s, Stephen Hawking told us that a black hole, even though you think it's black, it actually emits radiation when you take into account quantum mechanics.
And so they wrote down all these observations, and they called it the theory of quantum mechanics.
And so that's where physics was at a few years ago; you needed quantum mechanics to describe little, tiny particles.
Because if everything is made up of little particles and all the little particles follow quantum mechanics, then shouldn't everything just follow quantum mechanics?
And so I'd feel a lot better about the whole thing if we could somehow show that an everyday object also follows quantum mechanics.
So quantum mechanics says that inanimate objects feel the same way.
You hear a lot of talk about how quantum mechanics says that everything is all interconnected.
It's that those connections, your connections to all the things around you, literally define who you are, and that's the profound weirdness of quantum mechanics.
And I think, with all of the problems in science, one of the best things that we can do is to lift up the lid, finger around at the mechanics and peer in.
The quantum solution to this problem is called quantum key distribution or QKD, which leverages a fundamental, counterintuitive characteristic of quantum mechanics.
So this work was a real technical challenge for us, and we worked very hard, like most of our works, over years to get the mechanics right and the equilibrium and the dynamics.
I could say, "Imagine a jellyfish waltzing in a library while thinking about quantum mechanics."
Even quantum mechanics can give you an excuse for bad housework, for instance.
I have chosen to make silly jokes about quantum mechanics and the Copenhagen interpretation.
A simple definition of gamification is it's the process of using game thinking and game mechanics to engage audiences and solve problems.
Most of the game mechanics are very simple: a plant grows as you drive more ecologically and withers if you don't, like those virtual pets Tamagotchi.
When you're coming back from the moon, you have to deal with orbital mechanics.
And think about some of the things that we're learning about cellular mechanics.
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics.
What texting is, despite the fact that it involves the brute mechanics of something that we call writing, is fingered speech.
And you see the mechanics.
So in the theater, as much as the story is critical and the book and the language, the telling of the story, how it's told, the mechanics, the methods that you use, is equal to the story itself.
And actually, the structure of those tissues is quite different, and it's going to really depend on whether your patient has any underlying disease, other conditions, in terms of how you're going to regenerate your tissue, and you're going to need to think about the materials you're going to use really carefully, their biochemistry, their mechanics, and many other properties as well.
We still need chemistry, we still need mechanics, we still need really interesting topography, and we still need really interesting ways to surround the cells.
This is because, according to the laws of quantum mechanics, it is possible to have transitions between two states, even in the presence of an energy barrier separating the two states, and the phenomenon is called, quite appropriately, quantum tunneling.
And I won't go into a lot of stuff about quantum mechanics and what it's like, and so on.
Now, that early universe was incredibly dense, like a metal, way denser, and if you hit it, it would ring, but the thing ringing would be the structure of space-time itself, and the hammer would be quantum mechanics.
They postulate fundamental laws governing them, like the laws of gravity or of quantum mechanics.
