It's a place where time travel is not only possible, but necessary. It's a place where cause and effect can happen in reverse and observing something changes its state. From parallel universes to antimatter, quantum mechanics has revealed that when you get right down to it, the laws of nature are insane. The scientist J. B. S. Haldane once said, \"Reality is not only stranger than we imagine, it's stranger than we can imagine.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNever is this more true than with quantum mechanics. This comprehensive beginner's guide to quantum mechanics explains not only the weirdness of the subject but the experiments that proved it to be true. Using a humorous and light-hearted approach, \u003ci\u003eFundamental \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of how the most brilliant minds in science grappled with seemingly impossible ideas and gave us everything from microchips to particle accelerators. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFundamental \u003c\/i\u003egives clear explanations of all the quantum phenomena known to modern science, without requiring an understanding of complex mathematics; it tells the eccentric stories of the scientists who made these shattering discoveries and what they used them for; it explains how quantum field theory (a topic not covered in detail by any other popular-science book) gave rise to particle physics and why the Higgs boson isn't the end of the story.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTim James\u003c\/b\u003e, the author of \u003ci\u003eFundamental\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eElemental\u003c\/i\u003e, is a science teacher, YouTuber, blogger, and Instagrammer. Raised by missionaries in Nigeria, he fell in love with science at the age of fifteen. After graduating with a master's degree in chemistry, specializing in computational quantum mechanics, he decided to get straight into the classroom. He lives in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 8.19 x 5.43 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 09, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767703896352,"sku":"9781643138534","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/aef1c3bc13e0e908f71a080d062200fb.webp?v=1780315767","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/fundamental-how-quantum-and-particle-physics-explain-absolutely-everything-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
