Line 5:
** A curiously exotic set of phenomena.
** theoretical model of very very tiny things.
** Major part of how the universe works.
** strangely: all of the above.
* Why is quantum mechanics difficult to understand?
Line 27:
*** Bad data to start (unmeasurable initial conditions)
*** Observers obey QM (Heisenberg cut)
* Curiously exotic phenomena and our models of very very tiny things.
** Photo electric effect: quanta.
** Photoabsorption: bound states and quantum jumps
** Double slit: interference and matter waves.
** Single slit: interference and yes waves.
** Double slit low intensity: probability.
** Radioactive decay: probability.
** Stern-gerlach: spin
** separate measurements in coincidence: entanglement.
* A major part of how the universe works.
** Ubiquity.
** Quantum apparatus; quantum observers.
** Welcome to the edge of the known universe.
