Physics 190Q - Einstein's Dice
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, the most fundamental theory of the physical world. The major concepts and puzzles are covered in both historical and logical contexts, including non-locality (what happens in one part of the universe can instantaneously affect the behavior of a distant part of the universe) and indeterminacy (the future cannot be determined from any kind of prior knowledge; there is always an element of chance). Designed for the non-scientist, although proficiency in high school algebra is assumed.
