Hi Craig Weinberg I agree with you. I have no idea what Richard has in mind.

Who cares? The question is how does that begin to know about something and to care about it?

BEC is a mathematical object and not confined to any one substance. Even physical BECs have properties that are effectively outside spacetime.
