We point out that most popular discussions on the strange aspects of quantum mechanics ignore the fundamental fact that Einstein was correct in his insistence that the theory does not directly describe reality. While that fact does not remove these counterintuitive features, it casts them in a different light."--page vi. 606 $aQuantum theory$xHistory 615 0$aQuantum theory$xHistory. 676 $a530.1209 700 $aNewton$b Roger G$045677 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780727303321 996 $aHow physics confronts reality$93758151 997 $aUNINA
