Quotes by John Gribbin (?)

“In the world of the very small, where particle and wave aspects of reality are equally significant, things do not behave in any way that we can understand from our experience of the everyday world...all pictures are false, and there is no physical analogy we can make to understand what goes on inside atoms. Atoms behave like atoms, nothing else.”
― John Gribbin, In Search of Schrödinger's Cat: Quantum Physics and Reality

“...the best things in science are both beautiful and simple, a fact that all too many teacher conceal from their students, by accident or design.”
