A curious observer’s guide to quantum mechanics, pt. 2: The particle melting pot

Well, I estimated for a friend of my that Roger Penrose's "The road to reality" would take about 20 years of intense study to master from scratch.

Leonard Susskind's books and lectures are very good on this, and they are very approachable.

I know exactly what you mean. It seems there is a lack of such non-insulting-to-the-reader scientific writing: things are either too advanced (FEBE = written for experts, by experts), or to basic and without any scientific content bound a tenuous analogy or two, so it's refreshing when one encounters good non-technical scientific explanations...

Cudos to Miguel F. Morales and arstechnica. Well done!
