Through a complex mix of experiment and theory, physicists discovered an engine built on the mathematics of probability ticks away below the façade of reality.

Referred to in vague terms as the Copenhagen interpretation, this take on the theory underpinning quantum mechanics says everything can be described as a possibility – until we’re forced to describe it as an actuality.

But what does that even mean?

In spite of decades of experimentation and philosophizing, the gap between the unsettled properties of a quantum system…
