Quote of the Day:
Science, it is usually believed, helps us to build a picture of objective reality – the world ‘out there’. With the advent of the quantum theory, that very reality appears to have crumbled, to be replaced by something so revolutionary and bizarre that its consequences have not yet been properly faced.
Paul Davies
