You don't have to look very far for compelling mysteries... How about the two-slit electron diffraction experiment? Yes, yes, I know the math, but it's just so... weird! Fyneman (I think) said of it: "It is the only mystery". And how about Alley and Wickes' delayed-choice photon switching experiments? I mean, just what is reality, anyway? A quote from my undergrad physics prof said it best: "Nobody every really understands quantum physics, they just get used to it". ************************ * These are my opinions only.* ************************
