No, NO, NO!

I've tried this more than my fair share, and I end up going to bed, waking up fine, and she's up half the night stewing about what was said, and the other half of the night thinking of ways to ensure that the punishment she's about to inflict upon me will have me suffering in exquisite ways as I try to figure out what's wrong (as I've completely forgot about the night before).

999 times out of 1,000 it's over something very minor, and an "I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking" will solve the situation, and that one time in a thousand, then you need to stay up and hash it out and not childishly take your ball and go home to bed.

This is not to say that I don't still do it (I'm a male, therefore, axiomatically, stupid), but I _know_ what the right thing is to do...and my wife is a saint for having to put up with me. Really.

I had the same reaction. This sounds as if what they're doing is changing a particular location in six separate translations (or degrees of freedom if you like), but what they described didn't in any way involve any physical dimension outside of the 3 classical ones (as far as I can tell).

However, IANAPP, therefore might not grasp the particular nuances of quantum theory that actually make what they did leap past x, y, and z.
