Description: Shows that the grainy nature of quantum systems permits them to be in such states that all representatives, such as all electrons spinning parallel to a given axis or all stable hydrogen atoms, are truly identical and not merely similar. Explains that no direct measurement, however, can establish identity-it can merely certify the smallness of differences.
