The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle states that you can never
simultaneously know the exact position and the exact speed of an object. Why

at the same time. Chad Orzel navigates this complex concept of quantum physics.

rainforest, friendly people, and delicious food. #travel #treehouse #Thailand
One of the places I was excited to visit is called บ้านต้นไม้ร้อยหวันนอนฟังสายน้ำ

emphasizes local and natural food, and you can taste the freshness with every bite.
An amazing place, one of my favorite nature tree house places in
Thailand. For the cost, they charge 750 THB ($24.63) per person, which includes
dinner and breakfast, and the accommodation.
They also cooked a special snake fruit salad while I was there, it was
