PDS: I was watching this video, and approximately at 362 seconds into the video, we see the following chart (which I thought was highly interesting):
Quantum mechanics: The Popular View
o Quantum mechanics is weird!
o Quantum objects can be both waves and particles: wave-particle duality.
o Quantum objects can be in more than one state at once: superposition.
o You can't simultaneously know exactly two properties of a quantum object: Heisenberg's uncertainty principle.
o Quantum objects can affect one another instantly over huge distance ("spooky action at a distance"): entanglement.
o You can't measure anything without disturbing it, and so quantum mechanics is subjective."

But, why did I think this chart was highly interesting?
Because it stacks many ideas in an area of knowledge side-to-side -- where they can be more easily be thought about at the same time!
Now, the author goes on (as the rest of the video progresses) to debunk and/or set the record straight about these ideas (a few seconds after the list, a red X appears on the chart...)
Now, I don't know if the author, in his views, is right or wrong; nor is this an endorsement for the video; but I think that the chart, in the way it is displayed, is highly highly interesting in the way it lays out ideas...
