Ananthaswamy guides the reader through the basic conundrum the double-slit experiment has broken brains with for a couple of centuries, then through all the models that might explain it, especially those since what is called "the Copenhagen Interpretation" (the first Bohr/Heisenberg et al quantum model that predicted subatomic particle behavior with probabilities).
