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.
