Physicists, for all their odd notions, are basically a conservative lo — Nick Herbert (physicist)

"Quantum physics emerged from the Stone Age with an embarrassment of riches - three quantum theories, each claiming to explain the world. As it turned out, all three were right."

"The quantum world is objective but objectless."

"If a friend in Texas seals a silver coin in one envelope and a gold coin in another and mails the envelopes to Tokyo and London, the instant you open you envelope in Japan you know the contents of my envelope in England. But opening your letter causes no physical change in England (faster-than-light or otherwise) but merely involves a change in your knowledge concerning something happening far away and outside your control."

"Strictly speaking, there are no "measurements" in the world, only correlations."

"Legendary King Midas never knew the feel of silk or a human hand after everything he touched turned to gold. Humans are stuck in a similar Midas-like predicament: we cant directly experience the true texture of reality because everything we touch turns to matter."

"The quantum world is not made up of objects."
