No need to worry, as some people do, whether a cat can be both dead and alive, whether the moon is there when nobody looks at it, or whether quantum systems need an observer to acquire definite properties. The author?s inimitable and even humorous style makes the book a pleasure to read while bringing a new clarity to many of the longstanding puzzles of quantum physics. 606 $aQuantum theory 606 $aPhysics$xPhilosophy 606 $aScience$xPhilosophy 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aPhilosophy of Science 615 0$aQuantum theory. 615 0$aPhysics$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aScience$xPhilosophy. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aPhilosophy of Science. 676 $a530.12 700 $aBricmont$b J$g(Jean),$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$028555 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254639003321 996 $aMaking Sense of Quantum Mechanics$91808123 997 $aUNINA
