Scientists Produced a Particle of Light That Simultaneously Accessed 37 Different Dimensions
Classical and quantum mechanics don't really get along as the science of the subatomic can get, well, weird. Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state of its entangled pair regardless of distance.
