I knew that before we arrived but, still, there is no BACON. Do you think I could get a UN mission to deliver some?

Me too - although I have to say that the comments section of a theoretical physics site is so much nicer than the comment section of any other site I have encountered. We have to hope no political party ever takes a position on the many worlds conjecture.
My problem with this is that if the state change is truly instant (which all I have read indicates it is) then the length of the wormhole must be zero or the information is still travelling faster than light and your wormhole has not solved any problems.

I read Brian Cox's and Jeff Forsahaw's Quantum Universe - I now know lots about lots of clocks but very little about Quantum theory

I have a nagging doubt .... The ability to explain something to a 7 year old seems to be a trait of those who really understand their subject . Except in quantum mechanics . This leaves me with a huge dollop of scepticism , and thats probably healthy.

Article: In July, physicists Juan Maldacena of the Institute for Advanced Study and Leonard Susskind of Stanford University proposed a theoretical solution in the form of two entangled black holes.

In the last thirty years I was a fervent windows forms developer for the prepress industry. And I was happy.
My only disappointments were Windows Me and Vista.
For years I have installed the last Microsoft OS and I love doing this. Something new to try in my poor developer life.
But Windows 10 is a mystery for me. I have enjoyed Windows 8.1, very fast and very stable. The first installations of win10 were working good.
I was thinking that Windows 10 would be a step further. But!
After 45 years working with computers starting with Unix and Mac, I think that like a lot of people around here you can feel your machine.
And since the windows 10 release in august, I go mad. My laptop never stop to idle for like 20 seconds.
I am working on a desktop app and things start to becoming really weird with the memory.
Every thing is perfect under win7, win8 ans win8.1 and under win10 I have huge leaks of memory and huge idle too.
Did somebody around has the same problems or it is because I am a crappy coder?

Probably neither - memory is less of a scarce resource than it used to be so spending cycles cleaning it up or compacting it when there is still some spare is not a correct priority. Many virtual environments (such as .NET CLR) and applications pre-allocate large chunks of memory on start up to avoid having continually to ask for more as they progress so it appears that memory use is higher than it, in fact, is.

I had a similar problem with the wife's machine after the anniversary update. Restored her machine to an image taken before the update and that solved all problems.
I read somewhere that the anniversary update can cause computer freezes if you have more than one drive in the machine.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

So that's what's causing my problems. I've got 4 drives, an SSD for the system and 3 HDs to split the data over
