In the earliest days of 3D video games, players navigated blocky corridors and fired weapons blindly, guessing the trajectory of their projectiles based on the center of their screen. This clunky guesswork was eliminated with a seemingly trivial addition: the rendering of a tiny crosshair. This simple visual anchor fundamentally rewired the architecture of digital combat. The introduction of the crosshair shifted the focus of game design from mere survival to absolute precision. It allowed...

Rules of the quantum world seem to say that a cat can be both alive and dead at the same time and a particle can be in two places at once. And that particle is also a wave; everything in the quantum world can described in terms of waves—or entirely in terms of particles. These interpretations were all established by the end of the 1920s, by Erwin Schrödinger, Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, and others. But no one has yet come up with a common sense explanation of what is going on. In this c...
