Cap'n, do you know how sometimes you misplace something? Turn for a moment, and it's gone. Search everywhere, you can't find it. Then it suddenly crops up in a visible place. Or not. The Academy would call it perception bias. The humans of Old Earth knew better, though. They called it Wave/Particle Duality. Everything is an object and a wave at the same time. Particles of light are going along ALL possible paths, SIMULTANEOUSLY. Only when you look closer, they start to obey conventional laws again. Thus, everything and everyone is everywhere and nowhere until caught in the act. Madness? Yes, but it is the truth! Just think of the endless possibilities!
