“[Albert] Einstein married Mileva Maric, a brilliant
physicist and the only woman in his university class. The couple had two sons,
and Einstein wanted to name them Positive and Negative, so they would stick
together. The principle of quantum superposition says that a particle can be in
two places at the same time. When Einstein started cheating on Mileva, he used
that theory as an alibi.”—
