Exhilarating. . . . Reading [Quantum] is a bit like lifting the hood of your mind and moving the working parts around; it's challenging and trippy--as only the Dr. Seuss realm of the quantum can be., A super-collider of a book, shaking together an exotic cocktail of free-thinking physicists, tracing their chaotic interactions and seeing what God-particles and black holes fly up out of the maelstrom... Provides probably the most lucid and detailed intellectual history ever written of a body of theory that makes other scientific revolutions look limp-wristed by comparison., Exhilarating...Reading [Quantum] is a bit like lifting the hood of your mind and moving the working parts around; it's challenging and trippy--as only the Dr. Seuss realm of the quantum can be., Manjit Kumar's book is an exhaustive and brilliant account of decades of emotionally charged discovery and argument, friendship and rivalry spanning two world wars....but the real meat of the book is the explanations of science and philosophical interpretation, which are pitched with an ideal clarity for the general reader., As a fairly innumerate non-scientist, I am perversely drawn to books about maths and science and usually abandon them with ignorance intact. However, Quantum by Manjit Kumar ... is so well written that I now feel I've more or less got particle physics sussed. Quantum transcends genre--it is historical, scientific, biographical, philosophical., [A] captivating narrative, starting from Max Planck's discovery that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by matter required that it was emitted or absorbed in bits, discrete units, or 'quanta,' to the famous debate between Einstein and Bohr, always focusing on what quantum mechanics meant for our notion about what is real., Kumar is an accomplished writer who knows how to separate the excitement of the chase from the sometimes impenetrable mathematics., [Kumar] leavens the mind-bending with sketches of the remarkable human beings involved in this godlike enterprise., Kumar brings lucidity and a sense of drama to what is usually considered by lay readers as an esoteric, bubble-chambered subject. He does this without sacrificing the 'science of it' at the altar of readability. The triumphs and the tribulations, the politics and the physics, the humanity and the genius of the protagonists all collide to produce the sort of energy that we usually expect in a Le Carre thriller.

Synopsis
"A lucid account of quantum theory (and why you should care) combined with a gripping narrative." --San Francisco Chronicle, Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written account of this fundamental scientific revolution, focusing on the central conflict between Einstein and Bohr over the nature of reality and the soul of science. This revelatory book takes a close look at the golden age of physics, the brilliant young minds at its core--and how an idea ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the twentieth century., "A lucid account of quantum theory (and why you should care) combined with a gripping narrative." -- San Francisco Chronicle Quantum theory is weird.
