291. Oh, I'm not saying she isn't a little fanciful with her ideas.
All I'm saying is that her theory has some basis in quantum mechanics.

The goal of photon echo spectroscopy is to isolate the effects of an environment on its particles. During measurements, a set of particles are zapped with a laser to bring them into coherence, or a state where their properties are related—if we know the wave pattern of one, we know the wave pattern of the other. The particles are allowed to evolve for a period of time, during which their wave patterns change, like water with ripples on its surface.
