Introducing Quantum Theory (Paperback)

Summary of the Book
Quantum theory confronts us with strange paradoxes which refute the logic of conventional physics. At the subatomic level, one particle seems to know what the rest are doing, and according to Heisenberg’s ground-breaking “uncertainty principle”, there is a limit on how precisely nature can be observed by us. And yet, his theory is astoundingly accurate and extensively applied, explaining all of chemistry and most of physics. In this title, the puzzle of the wave-particle dual nature is discussed. Also described are the two questions raised against Bohr’s “Copenhagen Interpretation”, the famous “dead and alive cat”, and the EPR paradox, both of which remain uncertain yet.
