	I would like a derivation of this please!  Last time I looked

		infinity
	       X           = 0 
     
	for all 'X' less than 1.  Has this changed or are you claiming that
	the probablity of very energetic particles being created via the
	uncertainty principle is 1.  Golly, Physics sure has changed since
	I last studied it.
