  • Quantum theory is the most successful, peerlessly predictive theory of basic reality ever devised. Its current formulation dates from the mid-1920s, when experiments had revealed that things such as electrons could perform diffraction and other feats suggesting they were in many places at the same time, like a wave. If you observed them directly, however, they had a single, definite position like a particle. Here, Cartwright discusses the objective collapse theory.
