Description for Quantum Physics: What Everyone Needs to Know (R)
Paperback. Discusses the history, science, applications, and relevant current issues of quantum physics in an accessible way for the non-scientist. Series: What Everyone Needs to Know. Num Pages: 320 pages, 30. BIC Classification: PHQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 210 x 140. .
Around 1900, physicists started to discover particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and with these discoveries they believed they could predict the internal behavior of the atom. However, once their predictions were compared to the results of experiments in the real world, it became clear that the principles of classical physics and mechanics were far from capable of explaining phenomena on the atomic scale. With this realization came the advent of quantum physics, one of the most important intellectual movements in human history. Today, quantum physics is everywhere: it explains how our computers work, how radios ... Read more

Reviews for Quantum Physics: What Everyone Needs to Know (R)
...quantum physics works: we may not fully understand it, but we can at least begin to understand it and see how it will become increasingly used in our lives, and here Michael Raymer's book can help us.
