In this fun and informative book Chad Orzel finds a new way to discuss the key theories of quantum physics and its fascinating history. From quarks and gluons to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this is a perfect introduction to the laws that govern the universe.

When physics professor Chad Orzel went to the pound to adopt a dog, he never imagined Emmy. She wasn't just a friendly mutt who needed a home. Soon she was trying to use the strange ideas of quantum mechanics for the really important things in her life: chasing critters, getting treats, and going for walks. She peppered Chad with questions: Could she use quantum tunneling to get through the neighbor's fence and chase bunnies? What about quantum teleportation to catch squirrels before they climb out of reach? Where are all the universes in which Chad drops steak on the floor?

Without quantum physics, your breakfast - and so many other things we take for granted - wouldn't be possible... international bestselling author and physicist Chad Orzel shows us why

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But what about relativity?

Physics professor Chad Orzel and his inquisitive canine companion, Emmy, tackle the concepts of general relativity in this irresistible introduction to Einstein's physics. Through armchair--and sometimes passenger-seat--conversations with Emmy about the relative speeds of dog and cat motion or the logistics of squirrel-chasing, Orzel translates complex Einsteinian ideas--the slowing of time for a moving observer, the shrinking of moving objects, the effects of gravity on light and time, black holes, the...
