They violate our everyday understanding of how the physical world works. The simple thought experiment presented (dealing with Albert's socks) allows the reader to explore the weird world of quantum physics, an experience that likely will challenge the reader's view on reality. AM has always been one of my favourite manifestations of the strange world of quantum physics (hence the blog title), so let's have a proper post on it… The idea of antimatter first emerged in 1928. One reason for rejection is that the postulates of quantum mechanics just do not feel right. I see some mistakes about QM in the comments, but since all I know about QM is from a freshman seminar I took, I'll leave it to others - except to encourage people to read "The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics" by Styer. A classic area for cognitive dissonance in science is the tension between the strange world of quantum mechanics at the atomic or subatomic level and the physical behavior of the macroscopic world we see and touch. National Science Week is here again and the AIP is bringing the science of invisibility, solar cars and optics to Queensland; and in Sydney we're exploring the strange world of quantum physics in the 2012 Einstein Lecture. I would like to apply some concepts of quantum physics to my research on human mind. This is the world of quantum mechanics, and it is %^$&#*@ weird. So what is quantum mechanics, besides weird? A place where things do not exist unless you look at them, where cats can be both dead and alive at the same time. And yes, that is probably the most cogent description. Last month we started our expedition into the weird world of quantum physics. Quantum physics deals with the strange world of quanta. Quantum physics plays an important role in conscious phenomena. The Quantum Theory: this theory claims that the answers may lie in a world we are as of yet are very ill-equipped to prove, in the wonderfully strange world of quantum mechanics.
