Rolling the Dice

Really, this is a post for Bob. I'm reading this book all about quantum computers, learning all about bits of information and how they are processed, the difference between free energy and entropy, and the physics of the Big Bang. It's interesting, but it also has me wondering "why am I reading this book?" Until I got to page 50, when the author writes, "Every roll of the quantum dice injects a few more bits of detail into the world." The author, Seth Lloyd, is talking about chaos theory and the butterfly effect on the creation of pretty much everything. But what does it make me think of? An old joke I had with Bob about almost shitting your pants when rolling the mexican dice. I'd like to think of the quantum dice as an amplification of the mexican dice (a crazy cousin if you will), but with a better chance of getting something a little less noxious.
