It colors the way I think about the universe. But ever since high school, when I discovered the magical world of quantum billiards and quantum jungles in George Gamow’s classic Mr. Tompkins stories, I have suffered from a nagging feeling of unease about quantum mechanics.It works flawlessly and has never let me down—or anybody else for that matter. But even as I used it and taught it, at some deep level I knew that I didn’t really get it. I felt as if I were merely going through the motions that the pioneers of the theory choreographed long ago. Like all physicists I am fluent in Newtonian physics, also known as classical physics, and when the occasion demands, I rattle off its decrees, chapter and verse, the way an evangelist quotes the Bible, but I was never able to attain that same feeling of familiarity with quantum mechanics.There is a strangeness about quantum mechanics that is r
