"Quantum theory is at the heart of modern physics, but how does it actually work?
NASA scientist and communicator Sten Odenwald demystifies the subject and makes this crucial topic accessible to everyone. Featuring topics such as Schrodinger's cat, the wave-particle duality and the newly emerging theories of quantum gravity, as well as the personalities behind the science, such as Max Planck, Neils Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Richard Feynman and many more, Knowledge in a Nutshell: Quantum Physics provides an essential introduction to cutting edge science.
Presented in an easy-to-understand format, with diagrams, illustrations and simple summary sections at the end of each chapter, this new addition to the 'Knowledge in a Nutshell' series brings clarity to some...>>
"Would you believe in something you don't see, can't hear, and can't feel? – That is how most people feel about Quantum Physics – a mysterious world that only experience scientist can understand and use.
But what if I told you that you don't have to be a scientist to understand this subject. What if I told you that almost everyone, after a good 4 hours with this profound book, will be able to be not only to understand this, at first sight, complicated science but also, discuss about it with wisdom and decent knowledge.
Throughout this book, you will learn all the most important foundations of Quantum Physics. And hopefully, it will make you excited,...>>
"The laws of quantum physics are charming, mysterious, and govern our life: from GPS to Laser, from solar panels to computers; our technology is based on theories we don't fully understand yet.
Quantum mechanics, for its almost magic, has always fascinated philosophers and scientists. Moreover, today it enters our "daily life" and inspires books, films, and works of art.
"Physics is not a representation of reality, but our way of thinking about it" said Werner Heisenberg.
In this book, your perception of what is true or false will vanish ...
... waves that act like particles, particles that cross barriers like ghosts or communicate with each other in a "telepathic" way, a cat can be alive or dead...>>
