In the context of a submission about “A century of QM” that says things like

“To celebrate 100 years of quantum mechanics, the CERN Courier looks back at the impact of this theory and examines how it keeps delivering new puzzles, experimental ideas and technologies.”

the following comment may be completely misguided but I didn’t find it offtopic (maybe offreality):

“This is probably the slowest branch of the sciences, not able to get out of labs even after a century.”

But now I see that the author says that he meant quantum computing so the comment makes even less sense and is indeed slightly offtopic.
