A fact from Quantum Theory: Concepts and Methods appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 May 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that in the 1993 textbook Quantum Theory, "uncertainty principle" appears only once in the index, and its entry points back to itself?

... that in the 1993 textbook Quantum Theory, "uncertainty principle" only appears once in the index, and its entry points back to itself? Source: "The uncertainty principle, for which Asher had little use, is relegated to a single entry in the index that points to the same page of the index." [1]
Heh, interesting hook—I know next to nothing about quantum theory, but I always appreciate it when a textbook author includes little jokes like this in their work. Moved to mainspace on April 10, nominated to DYK on April 16. Article is neutral, copyvio-free, attributes all opinions to their respective author and is well-sourced. Hook is directly supported by the source and is included in the article. The QPQ review looks like it's still technically pending, but the comments left by XOR'easter so far addresses all points of the DYK criteria so far, so it looks satisfactory to me—also with 3 DYK credits the nominator appears to be exempt from QPQ anyway. I'd say good to go. Mz7 (talk) 18:35, 19 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
