This is all so off topic, but it is interesting that a Bose–Einstein condensate has properties that depend on the density of boson particles, and yet those particles are not only identical but also may occupy the identical quantum state. It's as though nature can remember how many there are without knowing the difference between them. This is just one way in which QM is really weird.
