Abstract

Some results emerging from the formalism of quantum theory seem to indicate probabilities outside of the conventional range between 0 and 1. This article draws attention to arguments in favour of extended probalilites, reviews some approaches to a formal account and interpretation, and presents a collection of statements of distinguished scientists about this strange topic.
