The Quantum World: The disturbing theory at the heart of reality by New Scientist (Instant Expert)
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 5.2MB | Retail
Overview: Forget everything you thought you knew about reality.
The world is a seriously bizarre place. Things can exist in two places at once and travel backwards and forwards in time. Waves and particles are one and the same, and objects change their behavior according to whether they are being watched. This is not some alternative universe but the realm of the very small, where quantum mechanics rules. In this weird world of atoms and their constituents, our common sense understanding of reality breaks down – yet quantum mechanics has never failed an experimental test. What does it all mean?
For all its weirdness, quantum mechanics has given us many practical technologies including lasers and the transistors that underlie computers and all digital technology. In the future, it promises computers more powerful than any built before, the ability to communicate with absolute privacy, and even quantum teleportation.
The Quantum World explores the past, present and future of quantum science, its applications and mind-bending implications. Discover how ideas from quantum mechanics are percolating out into the vast scale of the cosmos – perhaps, in the future, to reveal a new understanding of the big bang and the nature of space and time.
