Product Description
In their first book, Why Does E=mc2?, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw unraveled Einstein's thinking for the rest of us. They're back with a new topic--quantum mechanics--and the same approach: crisp, engaging, non-mathy, and clear.
Other explanations of the sub-atomic realm are full of weirdness, misunderstandings, journeys into eastern mysticism, and pronouncements on the interconnectedness of all things. Cox and Forshaw cut through the confusion (and the bad science) to explain why the quantum world is necessary, how it's constructed, and why it's a good theory. They also show, in a tangible sense, how all things are interconnected. Simply put: Quantum mechanics gives us a concrete model of nature that is comparable in its essence to Newton's laws of motion and Einstein's theory of relativity. It allows for astonishing predictions about the natural world.
