Book
Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world, underpinning nearly every piece of modern technology from MRI scanners to your mobile phone. Yet, at the same time, it's one of the hardest subjects for ordinary mortals to grasp. In 'Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics', a husband-and-wife duo demystify this essential branch of science. He, one of the world's leading physicists, peels back layers of the quantum world with unparalleled insights into the latest research. She, a writer, puts these scientific revelations into everyday language with wit and charm. Together, they tackle the mysteries that have baffled minds since the dawn of the quantum age. From the greenness of grass to the solidity of matter, they unravel the reasons the universe behaves in the weird ways it does - and just why it's so important to understand them.
