Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
Quantum theory is so shocking that Einstein could not bring himself to accept it. It is so important that it provides the fundamental underpinning of all modern sciences. Without it, we'd have no nuclear power or nuclear weapons, no TV, no computers, no science of molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat tells the complete story of quantum mechanics, a truth stranger than any fiction. John Gribbin takes us step by step into an ever more bizarre and fascinating place, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the scientists who developed quantum theory. He investigates the atom, radiation, time travel, the birth of the universe, superconductors and life itself. And in a world full of its own delights, mysteries and surprises, he searches for Schrodinger's Cat - a search for quantum reality - as he brings every reader to a clear understanding of the most important area of scientific study today - quantum physics. In Search of Schrodinger's Cat is a fascinating and delightful introduction to the strange world of the quantum - an essential element in understanding today's world.

“Gribbin not only tells you how the advancement in physics happened but he forces you to understand the stuff at-least at high level enough to think it in an abstract way. He makes you see the reality and how each genius be it Dirac, Schrodinger , Bohr and many came to conclusions and how they thought of the experiments. Its a brilliant read which attends both to the history and the real science.
A must read for all who are interested in physics....”

“Very enjoyable book I'm buzzing to get to college to study physics now. only note is that Robert Boyle is Irish not English :)”
