Quantum Arrogance

If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don’t understand quantum mechanics.
~ Richard P. Feynman (1918-05-11 1988-02-15 age:69)

In the realm of the extremely small, the universe behaves in ways that utterly boggle the imagination.

• Particles pop in and out of existence
• Particles don’t have a defined position.
• Particles can suddenly jump to the other side of a barrier
• Particles can become twinned and appear to communicate instantaneously at galactic distances

Modern computers and cellphones would not work without these effects.
