My big presentation went over well yesterday, plasma seems to be a crowd pleaser. One never knows about these things; I could just as easily have provoked the eye-glazing response.

Here's a brain teaser for you - the typical physicist does not appreciate how miraculous it is, that the singlet state exists. If you think about it, the anti-symmetric superposition is more surprising and less intuitive than the existence of irrational numbers.
