 I think the way it goes is something like:
 - The Laplace demon works by assuming there are in fact real forces acting between particles at all times
-- But Max Planck concluded that beyond some very small unit size, that's not true
-- And Einstein's dig into elementary particles found that what we call a "proton" (previously something we felt had acting potential on other units of mass of the same size) is actually just two up quarks and a down quark
+- But Max Planck concluded that's not true (beyond very small sizes)
+- And Einstein's research into elementary particles found that what we call a "proton" (previously something we felt had acting potential on other units of mass of the same size) is actually just two up quarks and a down quark
     - Same deal with neutrons which are two down quarks and an up quark
 - So the conclusion of all this is basically that if we can't conclude particles really exist, and we already have reason to disbelieve that even particles act on each other up to a certain size -- scientific determinism comes unraveling really quick. There's nothing that actually proves what comes next is a result of what came before.

+- [[Martini]]: Gin, dry vermouth, bitters
+- [[Negroni]]: Gin, sweet vermouth, campari
+- [[Manhattan]]: Whiskey, dry vermouth, bitters
+- [[Margarita]]: Tequila, triple sec, lime juice, syrup
+- [[Daquiri]]: Rum, lime juice, syrup
+- Gin and tonic: Gin, tonic water
+- Rum and coke: Rum, coke
+- Screwdriver: Orange juice, vodka

+My solution: Just use bigger buns and spread the ingredients wider.
 
 This is a win-win: the restaurant-goer gets a better tasting burger (and also the illusion of a bigger one), and the restaurant spends barely any more money on buns -- cash quickly recovered by more customers wanting to try their long burger.
 
 Anyways, that's the idea behind Warren's long burgers. It's more like a principle I hope more restaurants adopt.
