  • Escape From Shadow Physics

    Quantum Theory, Quantum Reality and the Next Scientific Revolution

    by Adam Forrest Kay ...
    The received wisdom in quantum physics is that, at the deepest levels of reality, there are no actual causes for atomic events. This idea led to the outlandish belief that quantum objects - indeed, reality itself - aren't real unless shaped by human measurement. Einstein mocked this idea, asking whether his bed spread out across his room unless he looked at it. And yet it remains one of the most ... Read more
