Surely the reason Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, the title of a book you reviewed, is that attempts to describe and understand this part of physics in terms that make sense at the level of everyday experience are fraught. This shouldn’t be a surprise – there is clearly a deep and mysterious substructure that underpins the macroscopic world. The best we can probably do is to “shut up and calculate”. That is because the maths works, at least in those contexts where we can check it(7 June, p 26).
