Not exactly. I'm saying that when it concerns particles of light or matter in motion, there are no limits to improbability at any time. For example, the Nobel Laureate in physics, Richard P. Feynman, explained in his book, QED, that there is a very small probability for photons (individual particles of light) to move faster than the usual numerical value c, which is just the most likely expected value.

Yes to both. I believe that those two scenarios are possible outcomes to the equations of quantum theory.

Why? Why a religious book written by desert people in the Bronze Age? |
You're saying that you see no similarities between seemingly directed air molecules and supposedly directed water molecules? How is that possible?

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the LORD drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left. Exodus 14:21-22.
