Una verdad simulada

For all physics geeks: A Unified Quantum Theory of the Sexual Interaction (via Bad Astronomy). The entire post is worth quoting; nonetheless, here is a small snippet.

[A]ll allowed forms of two-body coupling are identified with the conventional gender states, “Male” and “Female” denoted |M> and |F< in the Dirac bra-ket notation. Interactions between |M> and |F> states are assumed to be attractive while those between |M> and |M> or |F> and |F> are supposed either to be repulsive or, in some theories, entirely forbidden.

Observational evidence, however, strongly suggests that two-body interactions involving either F-F or M-M coupling, though suppressed in many situations, are by no means ruled out […]

In our theory the “correct” eigenstates for sexual behaviour are not the conventional |M> and |F> gender states but linear combinations of the form

|M>=cosθ|S> + sinθ|G>

|F>=-sinθ|G>+cosθ|S>

[….]
In this theory each |M> or |F> state is regarded as a linear combination of heterosexual (straight, S) and homosexual (gay, G) states represented by a rotation of the basis by an angle θ.
