This is a very clever reference to quantum mechanics - the strange physics of the quantum scale - light can both be a wave and a particle, a wave when you are not looking, a particle when observed. Also in quantum mechanics the uncertainty principle states that you can never know both a particles speed and location at the same time. If you know a particles speed you cannot pinpoint its location, if you know its location, you cannot measure its speed. This may sound impossible but many experiments have proven this.
The point I am making is that the writers have made a clever reference. Wormulon 13:14, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
The weeping angles act in a similar way to the behavoir of light in the real world. Wormulon 13:18, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
This show also throws the watcher into the mystical world of Quantum mechanics, albeit, just momentarily. The quantum locking of the Angels is exactly how a particle/wave reacts in the world of QM. Unseen, it does what it pleases, while being watched, it is solid. Intersting stuff.
