Re: [Phys-L] quantum physics



The Feynman lectures are good -- for adults. Not HS students. At least not
my students.

As Dan mentioned, there is the famously well known Feynman lecture on QM
called
Probability and Uncertainty: the quantum mechanical view of nature(1:16)
https://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/fml.html#6

In this video there are a number of famously good quotes, one of which is;

"But the difficulty (of QM), really, is psychological, and exists in the
perpetual torment that results from your saying to yourself, "But how can
it be like that!"—which really is a reflection of an uncontrolled, but I
say utterly vain desire, to see it (QM) in terms of some analogy with
something familiar.

It is lecture 6 of the The 1964 Cornell Feynman Messenger Lecture Series:
