Where Does the Weirdness Go?: Why Quantum Mechanics Is Strange, But Not as Strange as You Think Paperback - 1997

by David Lindley

In the world of quantum mechanics, uncertainty and ambiguity become not just unavoidable, but essential ingredients of science. Now, at last, someone explains it all. Astronomer, theoretical physicist, and science writer David Lindley has created a short, highly intelligent but irreverent guide to quantum physics that finally explains why the strange effects that manifest themselves at the quantum level disappear once we return to the "real" world. Index.

First line

From the days of Newton and Descartes up until the end of the nineteenth century, physicists had constructed an increasingly elaborate but basically mechanical view of the world.
