INTRO: We never see tables in two places at once or cats that are both dead and alive—yet this is exactly what quantum mechanics predicts. As a result, it has typically been assumed that quantum mechanics only applies to small scales. But according to Oxford physicist Vlatko Vedral, this is a radical mistake. The universe is quantum at every scale, and we only get paradoxes of quantum mechanics when we insist on a classical world outside it. In this interview, IAI contributing editor Ozbir Kip challenges Vedral on whether reality is really quantum all the way up... (MORE - details)

[Magical Realist]

Some of the very paradoxes encountered in quantum physics echo some of the fundamental paradoxes of our macro classical world. That an observer can change what he observes, which goes to the nature of consciousness's relation to the physical world. Or superpositioning states, which questions the very existence of one objective reality. Or entanglement raising issues of non-locality and causality. But to say everything is quantum, then there is no sense any more in saying that as there would no longer be an outside classical perspective to even know about it. Like how a fish never knows what water is. Only in the duality of quantum vs classical do we make possible the knowing about of these states both to each other and in-themselves.
