This nineteenth volume of AutoRicerca is proposed both in Italian and English editions, to once again mark the international spirit of the journal. Its content is entirely dedicated to the topic of quantum physics, with three texts written by Massimiliano Sassoli de Bianchi.

The first, is a revised, updated and expanded edition of a booklet the author published in 2013, with Adea Edizioni, in which he offers a disenchanted view of the “mysterious” observer effect of quantum mechanics, which today we hear so much about, often in areas that have little or nothing to do with physics.

The second text contains the slightly revised and expanded “transliteration” of a video that the author published (first in Italian) on YouTube on April 5, 2012, then on August 27 also in English, entitled Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle and Quantum Non-Spatiality (Non-locality).

Finally, the third text is a short article in which the possibility of spontaneous self-teleportation of a human body is explored, as allowed by the quantum laws. The author wrote it following a question that was addressed to him by a science fiction writer, trying to offer an answer which is both qualitative and quantitative, that is, also making an explicit calculation of the probability of such an event.
