In 1905 Albert Einstein suggested that light was a particle, not a wave, defying two hundred years of experiments. Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Erwin Schrödinger's infamous dead-or-alive cat are similarly strange. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it. In 1925 the quantum pioneers nearly all hailed from upper-middle-class academic families; most were German; and their average age was twenty-four. Their irrational, romantic spirit inspired their will to test science to its limits.

Book Description: Icon Books Ltd, 2008. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. For most people, quantum theory is a byword for mysterious, impenetrable science. And yet for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this magisterial book, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written history of this fundamental scientific revolution, and the divisive debate at its core.Quantum theory looks at the very building blocks of our world, the particles and processes without which it could not exist. Yet for 60 years most physicists believed that quantum theory denied the very existence of reality itself. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar shows how the golden age of physics ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the 20th century.Quatum theory is weird, In 1905 aBlert Einstein suggested that light was a particle, not a wave, defying a century of experiments. Werner Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and Erwin Schrodinger's famous dead and alive cat are similarly strange. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it.While Quantum sets the science in the context of the great unheavals of the modern age, Kumar's centerpiece is the conflict between Einstein and Bohr over the nature of reality and the soul of science. 'Bohr brainswashed a whole generation of physicists into believing that the problem has been solved', lamented the Nobel Prize winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann. But in Quantum, Kumar bring Einstein back to the center of the quantum debate.
