• Summary of the new physics and the old physics: (p.41)

Newtonian Physics	Quantum Mechanics
Can picture it	Cannot picture it
Based on ordinary sense perceptions	Based on behavior of sub-atomic particles and systems not directly observable
Describes things; individual objects in space and their changes in time	Describes statistical behavior of systems
Predicts events	Predicts possibilities
Assumes an objective reality 'out there'	We cannot observe something without changing it
Claims to be based on 'absolute truth'; the way that nature really is 'behind the scenes'	Claims only to correlate experience correctly
