I think the explanation of how and why quantum mechanics is perfectly understandable and explainable would be the thing most likely to make me give the book to someone else. In many ways, its also the most valuable thing that I’ve taken away from the Overcoming Bias site.
I started out in Physics, and while in College and University, I often encountered the “don’t try to understand it—just do the math” point-of-view and I never subscribed to it. I always felt that there should be a way to make it all make sense, but I was never capable of doing so myself.
The articles on QM from Overcoming Bias resolved many of my doubts about how things worked in this realm, while showing that everything could be described by a consistent model that actually made sense. Its hard to overstate how happy I was to see that.
