    Best quote from Quantum Physics: When Reality Gets Weird

    “

    Quantum mechanics isn't just abstract physics—it's revealing that we're part of a universe that's far stranger and more interconnected than we ever imagined, where reality itself is fundamentally uncertain until it's observed.
