Six Impossibilities. The Puzzles of the Quantum World

Quantum physics is a very strange thing. It asserts that one particle can be in two places at once. Moreover, a particle is also a wave, and everything happening in the quantum world can be represented as an interaction of... waves — or particles, whichever you prefer.
This was already understood by the end of the 1920s. During this time, a number of more or less convincing interpretations were tried out. The famous science popularizer John Gribbin takes us on an exciting journey through the "big six" of such explanations, from the Copenhagen interpretation to the idea of the multiverse.
All these options are mad to varying degrees, but in the quantum world, madness is not equivalent to being wrong, and being crazier than others does not necessarily mean being more incorrect. "Six Impossibilities" is a remarkably concise guide to a truly astonishing world.
