Book Reviews of Taking the Quantum Leap: The New Physics for Nonscientists
Book Review: Not good for "Non-scientists".
Summary: 1 Stars
Usually when I read a book, I get something out of it. I was left horribly unfulfilled after attempting to read this book. To begin with, the author uses too many big words and fancy terms. For example: "peregrinations". What "non-scientist" uses that word? And secondly, he may as well explain the material like this example I came up with: An object is red because red is the way it appears. Come on. At the risk of sounding really immature, I hate this book.
Summary of Taking the Quantum Leap: The New Physics for Nonscientists
This book entertainingly traces the history of physics from the observations of the earlyGreeks through the discoveries of Galileo and Newton to the dazzling theories of such scientists as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Bohm. This humanized view of science opens up the mind-stretching visions of how quantum mechanics, God, human thought, and will are related, and provides profound implications for our understanding of the nature of reality and our relationship to the cosmos.General Books
