Quantum mechanics features heavily in our readers’ answers here, which also consider if there could be a universe larger than ours, such that ours is a subatomic particle by its standards You seem to ...

One of the most striking parallels lies in the idea that reality is not independent of the observer. Classical physics assumed an objective universe existing regardless of who observed it. Quantum ...
