First off, if you liked the movie Oppenheimer this fills out the background to the scientists of the time in way that’s actually approachable (particularly for someone like me who didn’t enjoy science or chemistry at school). I felt disappointed by this book's lack of imaginative storytelling, there is little to excite the imagination or take us on a journey through his passion or bring a fresh perspective on physics. bu tarihin her noktasındaki zorlukları, anlaşılmazlıkları, sorunları irdeleyerek ilerliyor, bu da kavramsal olgunluğu artırıyor. Without it, we'd have no nuclear power or nuclear bombs, no lasers, no TV, no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering—at all. i read it in highschool and then again in college - because while you're reading it it's like having a really good teacher who holds your attention and makes you understand unusual ideas but as soon as you finish and put it down you're like "wait, how does that work again?

Gribbin uses his excellent understanding of the essence of quantum mechanics to produce a book that is equal parts fascinating and educational. On the one hand this allows us to explore some of the most interesting and deep ideas in quantum mechanics without being weighed down by the baggage of the mathematics required to get us there. It was a thought experiment, produced to ask "when does a Quantum model cease to be a mixture and become one thing or another? We also use them to help detect unauthorized access or activity that violate our terms of service, as well as to analyze site traffic and performance for our own site improvement efforts.

The only reasonable explanation for this, says Deutsch, is that the superposition actually represents 256 different computers operating in 256 different parallel universes…”the fact that quantum computing works proves that many worlds exist. The author in the end also touches upon the theory of supersymmetry which is the latest field under study within the quantum community and deals with unifying matter (particles like electrons,protons, quarks etc) and force (the bosons like photons etc). The book does show its age at parts but his amazement at PCs and LASERs does not change the fact that they are awesome and stem from the study of quantum mechanics.

Overall the narrator does quite a good job - but there are several famous physicist's names that get mispronounced. The first two parts of the book explore the discussions, and scientific developments as quantum theories began to emerge from classical Newtonian approaches.I enjoy all the history, connections and stories, and the experiments and ideas—just don’t ask me to recite any of it.

Overall, probably not unexpectedly, it changes your perception of a huge variety of reality aspects. What happens when the observer is not looking is something that is not explained by the quantum theory (and can only be speculated).Quantum mechanics is one of the key foundations of undergraduate degrees in Physics and indeed Chemistry, so having a basic conception of the essence of the theory is a great tool to have before you come to university. Gribbin reveals the concepts very slowly, which might not be a bad thing, so this may seem a bit tedious at first. Saber sobre el origen de la mecánica matricial de Heisenberg y la tensión con Max Born, con autores de la misma y que quedaron excluídos del premio Nobel que gano el primero. The only negative is that often I'd find myself struggling to comprehend certain analogies as the audiobook format is constrained to text only, as opposed to the paperback version of this book that has quite a few illustrations that help quite a lot. He then explains the Planck's black body radiation and the famous two-slit experiment whose observations threw the entire scientific community into a state of utter ambiguity and disarray about the nature of electrons.

The first half of the book is mostly intricate historical accounts of the key players of the story of quantum mechanics over the last century. La historia y las discusiones que aborda siguen siendo tan actuales como lo fueron en el momento en el que fue escrito. I enjoyed it for the survey of physics giants in the early 20th century from Einstein to Heisenburg. The most striking for me was thought about the history: "In this delayed choice experiment something we do now has an irretrievable influence on what we can say about the past.after extended listening periods, I would lapse into delusions where I was suddenly listening to The Talented Mr. When you decide to open the box the world instantly splits into two with a dead cat in one and a purring and very much alive cat in another. It feels surreal to find the natural phenomenon facilitating such an interpretation of the social reality. John Gribbin takes us step by step into an even more bizarre and fascinating place, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. Physics was one subject i was never good at during High school (not that i was great at any of the other subjects though but Physics was a nightmare).
