Introducing Quantum Theory

Published by Icon Books, 2004, softcover, illustrated, index, 174 pages, condition: as new.

Quantum theory is considered by many to be the most unfathomable of scientific models. It confronts us with bizarre paradoxes which upset the logical

 edifice of classical physics. Yet this widely applied theory is amazingly accurate and explains all of chemistry and most of physics.

These guides are useful as the illustrations and diagrams help with the concepts as do the conversations between the characters. I particularly liked that between Einstein and his wife. I dont necessarily think that I understand quantum theory completely. This is after all only an introduction, However, I do have a strong sense of the scientific method with one scientist building on the work of another, finding different angles to explore. It is building on the work of others or learning from the mistakes. As the scientists interact, they gain insight. This books gives the reader an appreciation of process.
