APPENDIX

THE PRINCIPAL PUZZLES OF QUANTUM

PPQ 1

Spooky quantum links seem to imply either faster-than-light signals or that local events do not promptly proceed in an unambiguous way at each end of the link.

PPQ 2

Spooky quantum links seem to imply either faster-than-light signals or that quantum events are truly random.

PPQ 3

Why does the universe seem to waste such a colossal amount of effort investigating might-have-beens, things that could have happened but didn’t?

PPQ 4

Why does reality appear to be the world in a single specific pattern, when the guide waves should be weaving an ever more tangled multiplicity of patterns?
