8:54 ...a -permutations [INAUDIBLE]- *permutation is written* ...
20:23 the same *mod* 2
22:32 Something that may have seemed -that- *a* coincidence there.

If we are talking about identical particles, what is the significance of the order? What is an experiment that reveals the order of states? I know there's a proof that shows quantum math can't handle that, but does that really mean we need to invent a whole new vector space to force it to make nice, or is it just an indication that something is fishy in the assumptions we use in quantum math? I can't imagine how you would read out the particle order without spatially separating the particles... and that breaks the definition of the problem anyway! Someone please explain this to me!
