Whenever someone asks:
I can only see this one thing different our setups, do you think it could be the cause of our different behaviour?
you don't need to read anymore, just point them to this page immediately. Virtualization for the win.

It is quite amusing that the starting point to identifying the heat one was capsaicin, as it stimulates the exact same receptor!!!

Causality and quantum jumps are incompatible Updated +Created
If something does a quantum jump, what causes it to decide doing so at a particular time and not another? It is expected that a continuous cause would have continuous effects.
This concern was raised immediately by Rutherford while reviewing the Bohr model in 1913 as mentioned in The Quantum Story by Jim Baggott (2011) page 32.

Cauchy boundary condition Updated +Created
Sets both a Dirichlet boundary condition and a Neumann boundary condition for a single part of the boundary.
We understand intuitively that this imposes stricter requirements on solutions, which makes it easier to guarantee uniqueness, but also harder to have existence. TODO intuitively why hyperbolic need this extra level of restriction.
