Beyond weird : why everything you thought you knew about quantum physics is different

Description

Title No one can say what quantum mechanics means Quantum mechanics is not really about the quantum Quantum objects are neither wave nor particle Quantum particles aren't in two states at once What 'happens' depends on what we find out about it There are many ways of interpreting quantum theory Whatever the question, the answer is 'Yes' Not everything is knowable at once The properties of quantum objects don't have to be contained within the objects There is no 'spooky action at a distance' The everyday world is what quantum becomes at human scales Eveyrthing you experience is a (partial) copy of what causes it Schroedinger's cat has had kittens Quantum mechanics can be harnessed for technology Quantum computers don't necessarily perform 'many calculations at once' There is no other 'quantum' you Things could be even more 'quantum' than they are The fundamental laws of quantum mechanics might be simpler than we imagine Can we ever get to the bottom of it?
