“Events and people aren’t ballast, and they’re not alleyways that you don’t know the way out of; they’re more like mirrors: small, large, convex, concave, wavy, distorting, cracked, or clouded, yet still capable of giving back reflection and introducing us to a part of ourselves we don’t yet know.”— Susanna Tamaro, from Listen to My Voice (Harvill Secker, 2008)

Our distance from the mainstream may be the source of some of what ails us, but it is also the source of our wit, our resilience, our empathy, our superior talents for dressing and dancing and karaoke. We have to recognize that as we fight for better laws and better environments—and as we figure out how to be better to each other.
When quantum mechanics was formulated almost a century ago, it overturned two particularly cherished assumptions about the world’s workings. First was realism. Unlike classical physics, which says the world exists independently of observers and observations, quantum theory strongly implies that reality does not exist, or at least cannot be meaningfully described, until it is observed.
