This book explains, in simple terms, with a minimum of
mathematics, why things can appear to be in two
places at the same time, why correlations between simultaneous events
occurring far apart cannot be explained by
local mechanisms, and why, nevertheless, the quantum
theory can be understood in terms of matter in motion. No need
to worry, as some people do, whether a cat can be both dead
and alive, whether the moon is there when nobody looks at it, or
whether quantum systems need an observer to acquire definite
properties. The author’s inimitable and even humorous style
makes the book a pleasure to read while bringing a new clarity
to many of the longstanding puzzles of quantum physics.
