Another book that makes a good stab at explaining the complexities of quantum science. ( ) A good introduction to quantum theory and the key players involved in its development. I read this book in college when it was first published in 1984. After this second reading in 2019, I still don't understand quantum physics. (If you don't get the following joke, this is the book to read!) Heisenberg and Schrdinger get pulled over for speeding. The cop asks Heisenberg "Do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg replies, "No, but we know exactly where we are!" The officer looks at him confused and says "you were going 108 miles per hour!" Heisenberg throws his arms up and cries, "Great! Now we're lost!" The officer looks over the car and asks Schrödinger if the two men have anything in the trunk. "A cat," Schrödinger replies. The cop opens the trunk and yells "Hey! This cat is dead." Schrödinger angrily replies, "Well he is now." no reviews | add a review
