She will take us through some of the basic principles of quantum physics. We will see how the concept of reality and objectivity has changed. We will understand why current science is changing our view of the world and human beings. We will discover how matter is formed. We will challenge our senses and logic with the principle of superposition and wave-particle duality, to finally realise that the world we live in is full of possibilities and fascinating things waiting to be discovered. Perhaps we just need to learn to ‘look’ at our surroundings in a different way.
