In this episode Stanley interviews physicist and astronomer George Greenstein about Quantum Mechanics, how he became fascinated with the subject and why this highly successful theory still defies visualization and remains essentially strange to us. It is precisely the unfamiliarity of the quantum world which George captures and explains in his book, Quantum Strangeness.
