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.

aha smart

Lol this reminds me of Toy Story. x)

And that game that we played in kindergarten, "What's the time Mr Wolf?", where you have to try and get to someone when their back is turned. And as soon as they look back at you, you have to freeze. =P It was so fun.

Anyway how can you not kill a stone? You can always smash it or blow it up with dynamite. I wonder what happens then.
