In sexual selection there is also someone else (i.e. the group of females in a peacock population) that decide whose DNA should not be inherited. And sexual selection is considered a part of natural selection. So your argument does not hold

Does the while (1) {...} loop always terminate? I am not entirely sure about it and would like to hear some opinions. What if the first guess is already the best possible solution? Could there be any pictures that cause trouble? I.e. ones t

You are right, quantum field theory is perfectly capable of explaining both phenomena (but not in terms of particles but rather in terms of descrete field modes). The idea that it is connected to the uncertainty principle is even older. Rea
