Description
When physicists began exploring the inner workings of the atom, they uncovered a world so weird that it overturned our very concept of reality. When you journey into the quantum universe you enter a world ruled by chance. Commonsense notions of space, time and causality must be left behind as the realm of solid matter dissolves away into vibrating patterns of ghostly energy; even spacetime itself is revealed as an ephemeral froth of wormholes and tunnels.Tags

An absolutely essential view of the blow-your-Mind weirdness of reality, eh? In this I see the incipient ideas that have grown into the Omniverse.
This book gave me the first clear explanation of the ideas and philosophical implications of modern physics.
