![]() ![]() Hannah, who taught Andrew his skill, now helps Drew to win so that he can return to his own time. Meanwhile, Andrew's life is saved, but-not sure he wants to switch back-he suggests a contest with the marbles he's hidden in the attic where the boys met. Drew finds himself in 1910, where he faces an adoring younger brother's disgust at his sudden wimpiness, observes tomboyish older sister Hannah's romance, scraps with obnoxious Cousin Edward, and gets routine (though not vicious) punishments with Andrew's father's belt. The gently reared Drew is timid Andrew's a prankster and a daredevil, as Drew finds after Andrew persuades him to trade places so that Andrew's diptheria can be cured by modern medicine. It's another boy, also named Andrew, also 12, and identical to Drew in appearance, though not in character. Staying with Great-Aunt Blythe in the ancestral home while his parents are on a dig, ``Drew''-so called because his great- grandfather Edward abhors his full name-is immediately aware of a presence in the attic. ![]()

Instead, for many decades we have refused to take the problem seriously, choosing instead to "Shut up and calculate!" Calculating is always good, but it's time to speak up and do some hard thinking. Physicists should be outraged by our lack of understanding, and devote extraordinary resources and brainpower to figuring out what quantum mechanics really is and what it implies about the world.
