The Quantum Universe, (Paperback)

from LGKerr

What this book illustrates is the importance of language, especially of metaphor, in communicating scientific concepts to those who are uninitiated in mathematical symbolism. There are places in this book where the authors explain things in a very patronising manner, and others where they assume ...

Interesting. I like the explanation of the uncertainty principle, I always thought of it as something discovered by experiment rather than as a consequence of the model itself. This book's extremely folksy way of explaining the consequences of the mathematical model got very boring very quickly, ...

Of the many interacting components explained, the following links progress. Albert Einsteins quantum mechanics photo electric effect was explained. Photo electric effects are the heart of the quantum foundation theory. As energy of the photon depends on color, not light brightness when projected ...

A huge mess. The main problem here is that the authors do not seem to know who their audience is. Sometimes they offer the type of 101 explanation you might give to a child. For instance, tediously explaining on several occasions what "scientific method" is and why science is A Good Thing, as tho...

Good read. I enjoyed it. It explains quantum mechanics in a nice and simpke way. The authors use a model based on clocks to explain uncertainty and other quantum phenomena. The idea is neat, but I found it sometimes hard to follow.
