Father Inire's Mirrors and Wolfe Physics

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't want to be obnoxious, but this is the same experiment I=20
described in my previous post about tunneling, and it is completely=20
accounted for by Classical Physics, no Quantum Mechanics required.

	I don't understand what experiment you're proposing.

	If you're interested, when my copy of Shadow & Claw is returned to me=20
I'll endeavor an examination of the matter.
