Question: What's your favourite thing about the quantam theory?

Steven Thomson answered on 18 Jun 2015:

My favourite thing about it is that I don’t understand it!

It’s crazy, really. I can write down the maths, and then suddenly I find that a very simple equation predicts a particle can be in two places at once, or communicate with other particles faster than the speed of light, or do something else equally strange. It’s really easy to write the equations for quantum theory, but really hard to solve them and understand them. I enjoy the challenge of trying to figure out some of the hardest problems in science!
