"Quantum": When physics got spooky: "'I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics,' wrote Richard Feynman, and given that he won a Nobel Prize in physics, why should you or I want to take a shot at it? Not that you or I could plausibly claim to understand the weird, protean, paradoxical subatomic world that quantum science describes, but anyone reading Manjit Kumar's 'Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality' will surely feel they've gotten a bit closer. It's an exhilarating, if also disorienting, sensation.
