Reply to Wind power is built at an increasing pace but its effect on nature and animals is poorly known.

Reply to comment by Contain_the_Pain in harnessing quantum mechanics, physicists discovered a new way to observe objects without directly looking at them. Using a superconducting qubit called a transmon device, they were able to “see” microwave pulses generated by classical instruments without having to absorb or re-emit any light waves. by MistWeaver80

It’s like when you have “dotted line” responsibilities on the org chart, and thing can be both your responsibility and not, at the same time.
