But being photons is not their only meaning in mainstream physics. Can you imagine the situation, you're a physicist and a mother at the same moment?

Something like that. :-)<br /><br />I'm not surprised however whenever Dr. Susskind is consulted that principle gets promoted to fact. Same for the Multiverse.
