The simple thought experiment presented (dealing with Albert's socks) allows the reader to explore the weird world of quantum physics, an experience that likely will challenge the reader's view on reality. What causes the dividing line between the strange world of quantum physics and our observed physical reality? Bermuda_Triangle Well, it was inevitable. This is an exceptionally accessible, accurate, and nontechnical introduction to quantum mechanics. Anyone who writes about the weird stuff that happens in this world has to, at some point, tackle two topics: Bigfoot, and the Bermuda Triangle. Evidence of this comes in part from the numerous popular-science books This episode in the Physics World books podcast series looks at the popularity of quantum mechanics in science writing. Recent experiments have begun to demonstrate how the weird world of quantum mechanics gives way to the familiarity of everyday experience. This seems to be a confirmation of the discovery of several months ago. The greatest mystery of quantum mechanics is how its ideas have remained so weird, while it explained more and more features of the world around us. As scientist 'entangle' the motion of pairs of atoms for the first time, which they say may be used to power super fast computers of the future, we look at the strange world of quantum mechanics. A ball follows a path, but an electron doesn't–this is the strange world of quantum mechanics. This has been one of the great mysteries of the past one hundred years. Physics World's podcast team discusses the enduring appeal of quantum mechanics. Similarly, in physics the average person can try to learn from popular sources some of the central ideas of physics. The Quantum Theory: This theory claims that the answers may lie in a world we are as of yet very ill-equipped to prove, in the wonderfully strange world of quantum mechanics. But while the ideas of quantum physics are challenging and notoriously weird, they seem to capture the public imagination and hold an enduring appeal. The particle was predicted mathematically decades ago but the technology did not exist to actually discover it.
