Book Description
How can a particle be in two places at once? What do wave-particle duality and quantum uncertainty mean? Why did Richard Feynman, who won the Nobel Prize for his work on quantum theory, say that "nobody understands quantum mechanics"? Drawing on a long-standing fascination with quantum physics, and decades spent investigating its history, John Gribbin tells its story - from Max Planck's realization at the dawn of the 20th century that light behaves like a stream of particles, to the 21st-century possibility of parallel worlds and teleportation.
