dhw: QUOTE from second article:
"And in the microgravity of the ISS, atoms are expected to retain this state of matter for up to 10 seconds, offering researchers the possibility of observing quantum behavior never seen before, according to a CAL mission description."

DAVID’s comment: Quantum activity is the basis of the universe.

dhw: Sorry, but observing new forms of quantum behaviour does not mean that quantum activity is the basis of the universe. But even if it is, you will still have the same old “compelling mystery” of how it all started, and what it actually means, if anything! I doubt if quantum theorists will unite and tell us it means there is a God who created life and the universe in order to produce the brain of Homo sapiens!

DAVID: I'm obvously discussing the basic mechanics of the universe. I think God used quantum mechanics but obviously these studies do not prove God. You are a defensive Agnostic. Relax!

dhw: I can never relax when my dear friend the panentheist claims that his point will be "proved"! by an article about research that will try to solve the mysteries of the universe and may lead to unpredictable and unfathomable findings! These studies do not even prove that quantum activity is the basis of the universe.

But studies proceed and learn. We are not there yet!
