Beyond weird : why everything you thought you knew about quantum physics is different

by Philip Ball

This work explores the interpretation of quantum mechanics, proposing that the field is fundamentally a theory of information. It examines how quantum principles challenge traditional perceptions of reality, space, time, and the nature of knowledge.
