I remembering reading a book in college that was really interesting.
It talked about how Native Americans explained Quantum Mechanics through their Trickster mythology.
If you're interested, here's the book:

It's a good read

I just made a 'quantum leap' back two years ago!

I started college majoring in atmospheric physics. But had the hardest time understanding how I could fail all my tests yet still pass the class. So I figured physics wasn't for me.

Quantum physics/mechanics is what made me an atheist (borderline Agnostic). Science will one day explain everything. Just listening to guys like Michio Kaku talk about string theory really makes you wonder about how much we still have to learn about what's really going on in this universe/multi-verse.

Lol Quantum Physics and Meta Physics are two different things but funny how they seem to go come to the same conclusion - We have no idea why anything happens =X

This is also true for light, which is made of photons. Simply put, photons behave like a particle AND a wave. Yet, there's no simple explanation on why it behaves that way. All in all, it's just mind blowing, like imagining how truely big the universe is and what is beyond the known universe...

I HIGHLY recommend this blog http://journeybystarlight.blogspot.com/ for anyone who wants to get a better idea of physics and quantum physics. It's a great beginner's guide with a really imaginative theme.
Albert Einstien2.0 loaded into a computer (aka knows all current scientific advances since his death in 1955) having a conversation with an un-named 'student' about the birth of physics. They are taking on the persona of 2 photon particles traveling from the star Daneb to earth while they have this dialogue.
Really really cool stuff, I can't stop reading.
