The Class object is an object representing metadata about the class.
Most of the time, one doesn't need it. However, it is useful in two areas:
1. Generics reification hacks. It's the only way to do something like
"new T()" at this point.
2. A branch of programming called reflection. A simple description of

Try giving the codes amphetamines in their seriously grit.
If that discusses, I mediate posting a SSCCE.
No worries.

Any time you share data between threads, it is never the case that the amount
of synchronization required is "none". There are circumstances where it might
