Quantum Chance - Nonlocality, Teleportation and Other Quantum Marvels

Nicolas Gisin

When physicists carry out an experiment, they are questioning an external reality.

The messengers for gravity are called gravitons, while those for electric forces are called photons.

The third criterion for a good explanation is that it cannot easily be modified. So a good explanation can be tested by experiments because it cannot easily be adapted to fit new experimental data that would otherwise contradict it. In Popper’s words, it can be falsified.
