Opis

This three volume series seeks to make enough sense to satisfy you without the need for hard physics and mathematics. Quantum is just too weird if we look only to our experiences in the world around us to try to validate what scientists understand about quantum theory and quantum physics. Instead, we need to sneak up on it, building our knowledge slowly, recognizing anomalies, trying to explain conundrums and seeming impossibilities, testing and discarding and rebuilding ideas, and validating our theories experimentally, bit by bit until at least some of quantum begins to make sense. There is no way anyone can explain quantum theory to the beginner or non-scientist by diving right into the subject. That's why this subject is presented in three, easy-to-read volumes. Volume 1 The Universe is Made Up of "Stuff" introduces the beginnings of scientific inquiry into the makeup of the "stuff" of our universe. By the start of the 20th Century scientists had begun to realize that they knew less about this "stuff" than they thought they did. Volume 2 The Universe Doesn't Make Any Sense introduces strange new ideas of matter and energy in Einstein's two Relativity theories, Heisenberg's notion that everything we can try to measure will always give us uncertain results, and that every solid thing we encounter is made up mostly of empty space. Volume 3 The Theory of Everything introduces some of the current ideas that seek to explain in one grand, complete explanation what matter and energy are. You'll also understand why we aren't there yet.
