AnneWimsey comments on Sep 29, 2019:

I believe you mean "repeated results" not "patterns....to be accepted as true, test results must be verifiable by numerous tests/testers. The little we know about quantum mechanics is that results Can be verified.....for example, predictions of certain particles (ex: the Boson) have been found to be true, so, no contradictions at all in the way you describe.

And I was raped quietly and tidily in my own bed, for about 2 years, until my mother caught him at it. No concept of gawd/gawd rules has anything to do with it....violating another person's space with your revolting "needs/wants" is not acceptable unless you think everyone owes you whatever you want. Dragging in Why it is bad in the way you are above shows me you are a person to be avoided at all costs....... evil & ugly in & of itself!
