“Instead of thinking of ourselves as selecting possible futures, I suggest we remain curious about what's to come and strive to learn more about ourselves and the universe we inhabit.” UniversePhysics Book:Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions Source: Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions
“Popular-science news about quantum mechanics is to me as baffling as it is frustrating. Hand me an equation, and I can deal with it. But if you tell me that quantum mechanics allows one to separate a cat from its grin or that an experiment shows "an irreconcilable mismatch between the friends and the Wigners," I'll back out of the room quietly before anyone demands I explain this mess. I have suffered through countless well-intended introductions to quantum mechanics featuring quantum shoes, quantum coins, quantum boxes, and entire zoos of quantum animals that went in and out of those boxes. If you actually understand those explanations, I salute you, because if I hadn't known already how quantum mechanics works, I still wouldn't know.” Quantum MechanicsAnalogyPopular Science Book:Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions Source: Existential Physics: A Scientist's Guide to Life's Biggest Questions
