English term or phrase: as much of a mind-bender

Aharonov’s interpretation of quantum mechanics is as much of a mind-bender as any idea about time-travelling must be. But, he argues, if it’s a mystery to have a photon be in two places at once, it’s perhaps even more of a mystery to have the photon know whether it’s being watched.
