Michael Riordan Quote

Subatomic reality is a lot like that of a rainbow, whose position is defined only relative to an observer. This is not an objective property of the rainbow-in-itself but involves such subjective elements as the observer's own position. Like the rainbow, a subatomic particle becomes fully "real" only through the process of measurement.
