Why Quantum Particles Stay as Waves Until You Look at Them

Drift into a peaceful understanding of quantum mechanics, where particles mysteriously behave as waves until observed. This gentle narration, designed to help you fall asleep, explores the strange world where the very act of looking changes reality, without any sudden sounds or jarring shifts to disturb your rest. Over nearly two hours, we trace the birth of the wave function, the impasse over Copenhagen, and the death of hidden variables, offering a calming journey through the mysteries of the quantum universe, from the illusion of the clockwork universe to the intriguing concept of spooky action and Schrödinger's Cat.
