YouTube – Quantum Shorts 2 – Shinichi’s Tricycle

What if the two Hungarians hadn’t warned Einstein, who then hadn’t warned the president, who then hadn’t started the Manhattan Project?

These readings are short, mostly eight minutes or so. Don’t worry about getting tied up.

This is a new venture for me. Recording stories live to video.

This collection is Quantum Shorts 2. Flash fiction that won a contest. The stories all have something to do with quantum physics, but in all cases it’s the story that is important, more than the science. The stories are released under a Creative Commons license, as are these videos. Please pass them on.

This reading is Entanglement by Kathryn Aldridge-Morris, a writer from Bristol, UK, whose work has won several prizes including The Forge Literary Magazine’s award for Creative Nonfiction, and the Manchester Writing School’s “QuietManDave” prize.

The quantum concepts are entanglement, superposition and wave-particle duality.

A mother, who knows nothing about quantum physics, talks to her daughter, who is leaving home to study it in university.
