I know the feeling, and yet, I can’t help but be interested in these ideas from a philosophical perspective. I am currently reading Quantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness, and thoroughly enjoying it. The book is written for the layperson and summarizes the most important experiments and ideas in quantum mechanics. What makes the book interesting is that the authors are especially concerned with interpreting quantum theory, i.e. understanding what “spooky actions at a distance” actually means. The authors present ten different interpretations of quantum phenomena.
A quote from the preface:
Suppose that when formulation beyond [for all practical purposes] was attempted, we find an unmovable finger obstinately pointing outside the subject, to the mind of the observer, to the Hindu scriptures, to God, or even only Gravitation? Would that not be very, very interesting?
