I have read a number of books on quantum physics. Nothing terribly, mathematical-equation heavy so I can only give you a rough outline of the physics. However, the history of how the scientists got to the next stage of advances in the quantum realm is enlightening all on its own.

Breakthroughs were often rejected by the dinosaurs. At other times the ah-ha moments never came, it was a research paper a researcher found that was written by someone else, years before. Not many people had heard about it, let alone read, and promoted it, so the idea languished, as the paper collected dust, until it was rediscovered. In politics it is a lot easier to come up with at least plausible ideas, but tougher to get through all the rumbling and wrestling. Workable ideas may become obsolete before anyone notices them.

The process that matured over a number of years into my comprehensive democracy enhancer, began as a smaller nationwide jobs project, and became an integral element, not a solitary one. Years into the jobs element, an ah-ha moment occurred that solidified my belief in it, enlarged the project scope beyond jobs, and gave me a much better understanding of its potential and value. It happened while I was playing a very simple game. Something I play almost every night to calm my mind before I sink into the pillow.

It could be played on my phone, but I like the tactile experience. The playing of it has a building-something-real feel. That game is solitaire.

A whole deck of cards is used except for Jokers. Seven stacks of cards are dealt out left to right, first one is face up, the other six down, return left to 2nd stack, place one face up, now one card face down on the other five… continue pattern until the seventh stack has six down with one face up. A total of 28 cards are now on the table. Then flip every 3rd card in the remaining 24 card deck. Only play the face up cards if they match in an alternating black-red pattern, and by card number to face up cards, in up to seven stacks. Any Ace goes face up, behind the seven stacks, with those cards stacked in the…
