I've got something unusual inside this purse. Let's see.
This is an old English penny
which is no legal tender anymore.
But this other coin with a black hole in it, is even more uncommon.
If we give it a little shake
the hole vanishes!
just to travel
to this other coin.
It seems that we cannot get rid of the hole,
if we tray to rub it off
on the mat
it looks like it's gone
but it keeps travelling here.
We could say it's a quantum hole
for we know there's only one hole
although we don't know where it is.
But, if we ever see more than one hole,
then we are sure we are dreaming.
That's why I keep my totem inside this purse,
which happens to be:
a regular English penny!
Let's keep it safe inside the purse.
Therefore,
I can throw away this hole.
We don't need this coin anymore.
And the second hole,
it also
vanishes.
Let's put the coin away.
Unfortunately there are always side effects
and the totem collects the holes.
Thus, the totem acts as an endless loop.
If you ever fall through the holes
you cannot get back
Look, the first coin has fallen!
But as they say in China, all good things come in pairs
The last coin, we push it gently
and it also goes through the holes.
