Beschreibung

'Quantum mechanics is remarkable for two seemingly contradictory reasons. On the one hand, it is so fundamental to our understanding of the workings of the world that it lies at the very heart of most of the technological advances made in the past half a century. On the other hand, no one seems to know exactly what it means!'

Quantum mechanics is the most fundamental theory known to man, underpinning modern science and technology and even providing us with a blueprint for reality itself. Yet it has been said that if you are not shocked by it, you clearly don't understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality actually quite so strange? And just how can cats be half-alive and half-dead at the same time?

From Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to quantum genes and computers, Jim Al-Khalili untangles the weirdness of the quantum world. With short essays from pioneers in the field, this guide for the perplexed explains the theories and explores their consequences in an accessible and enlightening way.
