> I still don't get how quantum mechanics is "spooky". Really? Measuring a particle's state at a street corner in Columbus, Ohio instantly causes its partner particle in the Andromeda Galaxy to assume the opposite identity, isn't spooky? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement Opening a box containing a cat, a vial of poison, and a radioactive sample instantly causes the cat to become either alive or dead, where before the cat was in a superposition of states, i.e. neither alive nor dead. Not spooky? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger's_cat > Maybe without a math degree I never will. No need for a math degree. The weirdness of quantum theories is obvious without a knowledge of advanced mathematics. "If you think you can talk about quantum theory without feeling dizzy, you haven't understood the first thing about it." -- Niels Bohr.
