The unwrapping is the bane of all audiences (to say nothing of the sufferer) for opera, theater and concerts. These scientists decided it was time to unwrap the mystery. They became intrigued by the fact that most people take for granted: smooth, unwrinkled plastic has only one "stable" configuration, since no matter how it is bent (as long as it is not creased), the plastic will fall flat again. But crushed and wrinkled plastic has innumerable stable states: deform it, and it holds the shape or something close to it. But what does the research say about how to unwrap a piece of hard candy when, horribly, a tickle in the throat arrives during the final, fading notes of Violetta's death scene in Verdi's La Traviata? Unwrap it as quickly as possible and get it over with. James Glanz - NYT We do not stop playing because we are old; We grow old because we stop playing.
