They don't have to arrive in order and that's entirely irrelevant too! It would be unthinkable and a true MIRACLE if they had the ability to arrive always in the same order!
The thing is that when they start to talk in metaphysical terms "the copenhagen interpretation... bla bla bla..." is when I get mad at them... sorry!

Did you see the two-dimensional photo of the resulting impacts? If you try to process that image in 3 dimensions using nothing but the best computer you have available [your own brain] you'll see my point! It is a wall-paper looking sine waves stuck together one besides the other... right? You got it right!
