In search of Schrodinger's cat

John Gribbin, (1946-)

Rate this:
"Tells the complete story of quantum mechanics, a truth stranger than any fiction. John Gribbin takes up step by step into an ever more bizarre and fascinating place, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the scientists who developed quantum theory. He investigates the atom, radiation, time travel, the birth of the universe, super conductors and life itself. And in a world full of its own delights, mysteries and surprises, he searches for Schrodinger's Cat - a search for quantum reality - as her brings every reader to a clear understanding of the most important area of scientific study today - quantum physics."--Back cover.
