    Apparently Robins have mastered quantum physics and can see the earth's magnetic field. And plants can put their molecules in many positions at the same time.

    While scientists are only just starting to unlock the secrets of quantum mechanics using extremely expensive, super delicate equipment, plants and some animals have been doing it all along.

    This is my favourite bit.

      Hmm? Robins don't migrate as far as I know.

      That's because they're quantum, they both migrate and stay put simultaneously.

      Just reading it again, it doesn't say they actually migrate, just that they prepare for migration. Maybe they will migrate one day.
