In the same way that Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism "born" relativists, the polarization of light "born" quantum. In this talk we present a discussion of the foundations of quantum theory, where it will be argued that the fundamental property of quantum systems is that their properties can not be defined a priori. We quantify this statement in the violation of an elementary inequality...
