No one intuitively understands quantum mechanics because all of our experience involves a world of classical phenomena where, for example, a baseball thrown from pitcher to catcher seems to take just one path, the one described by Newton's laws of motion.

And if I can predict anything, then I haven't explained anything. Lawrence M. Krauss distinguishexplainextent share on social
