About this product
Product Information
Without quantum theory our world would not exist. Yet for sixty 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 twentieth century. Quantum theory is weird. In 1905 Albert Einstein suggested that light was a particle, not a wave, defying two hundred years of experiments. 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. Kumar's centrepiece is the fierce battle between Einstein and Bohr about the nature of reality and the soul of science. 'Bohr brainwashed a whole generation of physicists into believing that the problem had been solved' lamented the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann. After nearly eighty years, Einstein has been vindicated.
