Not the first. The USB connector is a mechanical qbit. And it only collapses after 3 tries. It’s not a 50% split tho. It’s like 66.66% probably of collapsing into the wrong state.

The photograph of the Qubit seems familiar; once it is removed (housed within it's translucent container) Hal 9000 sings 'Daisy'. Meanwhile, the image at 3:17 is the best look we've ever had of the TARDIS time rotor's interior... In all seriousness, thanks Anton. Endlessly fascinating as usual.

My brain always feels like it just got done with a 50 mile marathon when I am done watching one of your episodes, thanks for the brain workout.
