> My very light understanding of quantum physics is that it does not really translate in words. It s like trying to explain what’s apple times i in English. This is really one of the best comments I have read on an article like this ever. Having had a cursory introduction to quantum physics in math terms and not understanding much of it, I find it impossible to read any sort of popular science literature on the subject. It's always going to be a very vague description with analogies that raise more questions than give answers. That's not to say I don't applaud the effort of quantum physicists to explain it to a broader public- I just think that most of the time they come away thinking it's some sort of black magic rather than solid science.
