This talk will take us into the strange world of quantum mechanics—the best description for the tiniest dust of creation that makes up everything we see. This knowledge has revolutionised technology, from computing to medicine, but it also brings new challenges and risks. How does this microscopic world change how we see reality, and what does it mean for people of faith?
