David Lindley's book, "Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, and the Struggle For The Soul of Science: UNCERTAINTY, page 135, ("... Born, came to ... conclusion. The spreading waves leaving the collision site ... not actually particles but their 'probabilities.' In other words, a direction where the wave was strong was a direction in which rebounding particles were likely to emerge. Where ... weak, by contrast, particles were less likely to be seen. ....")

Could something similar have happend at the time of the singularity, the big-bang? What if "probability waves" were all that occurred at that moment. What if these waves spread out in all directions and somehow interfered with one another. Might matter have formed only when the waves were maximum and space formed only where the waves were minimum. Maybe something like standing-waves account for the locations of galazies and the space between them? If so, might observations suggest there be a patterns there?

Alright. I have been visiting this area now for 5 years or so. Same area about the same time of the year. (August). I saw this insect that looks a lot like some sort of scorpian, but cannot identify it. It has two long antenas and 6 legs. It has a stinger (or what looks like one) on its back end.
Pictures are at these links.

Sometimes there are hydras in my freshwater aquarium. until this point I didn't know that was possible. How did they get here? Months go by and I see none then I will find several. What are they eating, they are smaller than pencil lead? Are the significant in any way? Are they always there but usually eaten by my fish?

From the list below, pick the one species that cannot act as both a Bronsted-Lowry acid and base. 
 
A. HCO3-
B. H2SO4-
C. H2PO4-
D. OH-
E. HPO42-
 

I used to know how to do these; I understand that a conjugate acid has one more H, and a conjugate base has one fewer. I'm trying to get back in the swing of things to take Organic Chemistry 1 this Fall, so I'd appreciate any help offered...

I'm *thinking* the answer is OH-?
