Science and Inquiry discussion

I just ran across this contest (deadline already passed), and it is down to the final 10 "quantum" short stories. I wish I had known..

Anyway, happy reading (and you can vote if you like - by Jan. 19th). There are two categories: Open and Youth (tabs).

Schrödinger dreamed up a cat that, thanks to quantum physics, is half-alive and half-dead. Einstein worried about spooky action at a distance. Now Google is trying to build a quantum computer and we can communicate secretly using quantum particles. This is not even a century of progress in quantum physics. It sounds like science fiction, but that’s your job. We asked you to pick up the threads of this story and tell a new tale - and wow, you responded! The contest received over 400 entries. Our judges have a very hard job ahead.

We've announced the shortlists! Read the top ten stories in the Open and Youth categories and vote for your favourite by 19 January to help decide the People's Choice prize. You can still read all the other entries to the contest too. There were many stories we loved that couldn't squeeze into a top ten.
