"The world isn't made of things. It's not made of objects... The notion that big things are made of little things, quantum theory doesn't describe the world that way. Big things aren't made of little things. They are made of entities whose attributes aren't there when you don't look, but become there when you do look. The world exists when we don't look at it in some strange state that is indescribable, and then when we look at it, it becomes absolutely ordinary, as though someone were trying to pull something over our eyes. The world is an illusion." ~ Nick Herbert, Ph.D.
