Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate About the Nature of Reality
Page 51
This book would not have been possible without the unfailing support over many years of Lahmber Ram, Gurmit Kaur, Rodney Kay-Kreizman, Leonora Kay-Kreizman, Rajinder Kumar, Santosh Morgan, Eve Kay, John Gillott, and Ravi Bali.
Finally, I wish to thank, with all my heart, my wife Pandora and my sons Ravinder and Jasvinder. Words are not enough to convey what I owe to the three of you.
