phenomena that are by nature all too human.’ Kurt Johnson, The Saturday Paper
An expert physicist argues for a revolutionary new understanding of quantum
mechanics.
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 influential ideas in science and our culture.
In Escape from Shadow Physics , Adam Forrest Kay takes up Einstein’s torch:
reality isn’t mysterious or dependent on human measurement, b...
