You mean the search for a grand unified theory of Quantum Mechanics? I don't know if that's the central mystery, but if you're so interested in it, you might want to e-mail Stephen Hawking, or some other prominant theoretical physicist. I'm no expert on that, nor am I a physicist....BUT THEN, YOU WERE BEING SARCASTIC, AND WE ALL KNOW IT, DON'T WE? Go pick on somebody your own size, and keep it on audio, or you'll be gone from here like the rest have (unless of course you already have been, and have returned under a different moniker).........................To sum up, you have singled me out in a personal manner, and this is quite against Audiogon's rules. Why don't YOU tell me something about AUDIO that I don't already know?.....(since that's the "central mystery" of why I'm hear, i.e., to learn what I don't already know about audio, and to share experiences for the give and take of that learning). I have a great-aunt named Merle, but somehow I doubt it's you auntie...
