Quantum theory is at the heart of modern physics, but how does it actually work? NASA scientist and communicator Sten Odenwald demystifies this crucial subject and makes it accessible to everyone. Featuring topics such as Schrodinger's cat, the wave-particle duality and the newly emerging theories of quantum gravity, Quantum Physics provides an essential introduction to cutting edge science. It also presents the personalities behind these discoveries, such as Max Planck, Neils Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Richard Feynman and many more. Presented in an easy-to-understand format, with cover flaps, diagrams, illustrations and simple summary sections at the end of each chapter, this new addition to the 'Knowledge in a Nutshell' series brings clarity to some of the great mysteries of physics.
