Квантовая механика действительно впечатляет. Но внутренний голос говорит мне, что это еще не реальная вещь. Теория говорит много, но не приближает нас к секрету старика. Я убежден, что Он не играет в кости. Альберт Эйнштейн
Думаю, я могу с уверенностью сказать, что никто не понимает квантовой механики. Ричард Фейнман
