“Common sense might dictate that for an object to move from one point to another, it must go through all the points on the path. Imagine someone driving from Kansas City to Topeka on I-70 “it’s safe to say that he must be in Lawrence at some point during the trip,” said Hui Zhao, associate professor of physics & astronomy at the University of Kansas. Or in basketball, when KU’s Josh Jackson receives an alley-oop pass from Frank Mason III and dunks the ball from above to below the rim, the ball must be in the hoop at some point in time. Not so for electrons in the quantum world, which don’t follow such common-sense rules for the most part.”
