“Refreshing take on the whole "quantum story." The approach of taking 40 key moments in a hundred years of science history and examining each of them in detail, was quite novel and quite good.
Baggott writes in an engaging and understandable style, appropriate for those whose background may not be in physics (as well as for those for whom it is).
I especially appreciate the final sections of the book which put the recent discoveries and theories into the full context of quantum physics. Superstrings, anybody?”
