Produktbeskrivning

The international bestseller
'Ambitious . . . pleasingly full of cutting-edge topics' - New Scientist

Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world. Yet, at the same time, it's one of the hardest subjects for ordinary mortals to grasp.

In Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, a husband-and-wife duo - renowned physicist Frank Verstraete and writer Celine Broeckaert - demystifies the essential science behind how our world works. Together, they unravel the reasons the universe behaves in its weird ways - and just why it's so important to understand them.

In this book, you will discover:

How symmetry governs the universe
The untold history of quantum physics
How quantum principles power our gadgets and lives
The real essence behind quantum puzzles and discoveries

Part history and part popular science, Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics serves as a bridge between the complex world of quantum physics and the curious mind.

'A physics book unlike any other. The scope, depth and artistry are breathtaking' - John Preskill, theoretical physicist and Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech

'Quantum physics has long been mysterious, yet [the authors] succeed, often with brilliance, in making its history and mind-blowing ways accessible to lay readers' - Nature

'Entertaining, unorthodox and highly readable' - Ian Stewart FRS, bestselling author of The Science of Discworld

'A delightful book for all those who do not speak the language of mathematics but are curious about the most beautiful of theories and their impact on our lives' - Barbara Terhal, theoretical physicist
