Quantum Adventure, The: Does God Play Dice? by Ann Breslin Alex Montwill (PDF)

Description

Quantum theory revolutionized physics at the beginning of the last century. Einstein was one of its originators, but as the implications of the theory emerged, he began to have doubts. Are the most basic physical processes based on probability? Is the Universe governed by chance? Do physical objects have an independent existence or do they exist only in our perception? The ramifications may appear bizarre but they are inherent to this perplexing subject.The Quantum Adventure deals with the birth and growth of quantum mechanics. It explains the “classical dilemma” which faced physics at the start of the 20th Century and goes on to show how quantum mechanics emerged and flourished. Difficult and abstract concepts are treated with minimal mathematics and maximal physical imagery. Snippets of information about the dramatis personae are woven into the text and add color to what is traditionally perceived as a complex and challenging topic. A must-read for anyone interested in quantum physics.

⭐If you liked `Quantum Story’ or some of the other books that try to explain the facts/history and/or wished for a book not going into details that got you lost `in the trees’, `The Quantum Adventure : Does God Play Dice?’ by Alex Montwill & Ann Breslin would interest you. It is briefer but in many ways clearer as to what the important events [history] and facts/controversies were.Unlike some books it does not deal with quarks or string theory—only the movement from `classical’ to `quantum’ physics.The book is on the level of Feynman’s `QED’ and even has a chapter on the photons, least action and sum over history from `QED.’
