精彩摘录
- "To understand how to construct,or reconstruct, genes, we have to understand how and why atoms join together only in certain arrangements, certain distances apart and with chemical bonds of a certain strength. That understanding is the gift of quantum physics to chemistry and to molecular biology."
- "内在真实性——基本机制——被取名为“隐变量”，实验对象是从源中朝相反方向飞出的两个质子或粒子。但基本上可以认为是对真实性的的检验。两个从同一源中飞来的质子可以被两个检测器检测到，可测量它的偏振性质。根据量子理论，这种性质是不存在的，除非实施了测量。根据隐变量观点，每个质子从它产生就有“真实的”极性。"
- "探索薛定谔的猫就是寻找量子的真实性。"
- "From July 1925 until September 1927 Bohr published hardly anything on quantum theory, and then he presented a lecture in Como, Italy, which introduced the idea of complementarity and what is known as the “Copenhagen interpretation” to a wide audience. He pointed out that whereas in classical physics"
- "First, we have to accept that the very act of observing a thing changes it, and that we, the observers, are in a very real sense part of the experiment—there is no clockwork that ticks away regardless of whether we look at it or not. Secondly, all we know about are the results of experiments."
- "In the quantum world, what you see is what you get, and nothing is real; the best you can hope for is a set of delusions that agree with one another."
- "A photon that leaves a distant star and arrives at the earth may spend thousands of years on the journey, measured by clocks on earth, but takes no time at all as far as the photon is concerned. A photon of the cosmic background radiation has, from our point of view, been traveling through space for"
- "This confirmation that nuclear forces, as well as electric forces, can be thought of purely in terms of interactions between particles is a cornerstone of the physicists’ view of the world today. All forces are now regarded as interactions (between particles)."

算是读过吗？读过中文版的，呵呵，英文太烂啦！
虽然不及霍金的书风趣，但是基础概念解释得很翔实，而且比起霍金这位作者更能接受“有观测者才有被观测对象”，这也是俺的心水论点呀！

fascinating! Now I understand what Sheldon is talking about in the Big Bang Theory
本书主要讨论了量子力学以及观测导致量子叠加态塌缩的问题（即盒子里“半死半活的猫”在盒子打开后成为了活的或者死了的猫）。作者比较倾向的解决方案似乎是多重宇宙假说，即盒子打开后宇宙也分裂成两个，一个宇宙里面猫活着而另一个里面则猫死了。
