Book Reviews of Quantum Theory: A Graphic Guide to Science's Most Puzzling Discovery (Introducing...)
Book Review: A dazzling statement of the brilliance of the scientists.
Summary: 5 Stars
I had to do quantum physics as part of my science degree and reluctantly participated. Forty years on, I found this book hard to put down, reading it twice in a row to digest the magnificence of the men and their discoveries nearly a century ago now. With clear graphics and wording, this is one of the best little books I have read. I wish I had access to it forty years ago.
Summary of Quantum Theory: A Graphic Guide to Science's Most Puzzling Discovery (Introducing...)
A step by step tour of a notoriously difficult subject, tackling the puzzle of wave duality and the famous questions raised by Bohr's 'Copenhagen Interpretation'. Scientific discoveries of the earliest 20th century destroyed assumptions about basic physics laws. At subatomic level things work very differently, one particle seems to know what others are doing, limiting how accurately nature can be observed. Yet quantum theory explanations are widely applied and very accurate.General Books
