This book explains how the ideas of quantum physics were discovered by the mathematicians and physicists involved. Even though quantum physics became one of the most successful of scientific theories, explaining how much of our world works, its strange implications for humankind's relationship with the universe still disturb many scientists. This book discusses the science and the history of an unfolding quantum description of our world through the use of colourful diagrams, photographs and, where necessary, a text carefully written to explain some of the significant mathematical ideas in easy to follow steps.

Industry Reviews

Currently, no reviews have yet been written for this new title, Quantum Reality. However, below are reviews for Robert Rankin's previous science book, Einstein's Relativity. Both books are written in a similar style.

This is a very impressive achievement. I know only too well the challenges of putting together clear and succinct prose that properly captures the abstract, and usually mathematically-based ideas, of modern physics. Dr James Cresser, Senior Lecturer, Dept of Physics and Astronomy, Macquarie University, Australia, 2012.

Not too heavy, not too light. Dr Albert Orr, retired academic.

I have fifty books on physics on my shelf. Your explanation of relativity is the best I have read so far.

Your book is an absolute cracker. I've read a fair bit about this topic but I'd say that your treatment of the topic is the best I've read and, amazingly, it dealt with a couple of questions I've had for a long time.
