It makes no difference if quantum mechanics says things are unitary because the blackbody radiation given off by things when they are at 1.41*10^32 degrees Kelvin have a wavelength equal to the Planck Length, the distance light can move in the Planck Time of 10^-44 seconds; and when things become that small and that energetic a gravitational singularity forms. At that point both Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity break down. John K Clark -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
