BEYOND WEIRD - PHILIP BALL KARTONIERT (TB)

'This is the book I wish I could have written but am very glad I've read' Jim Al-Khalili An
exhilarating tour of the contemporary quantum landscape  addressing the question that most
others fail to ask: what does quantum mechanics actually mean? 'I think I can safely say that
nobody understands quantum mechanics.' Richard Feynman wrote this in 1965 - the year he was
awarded the Nobel prize in physics for his work on quantum mechanics. Over the past decade or
so  the enigma of quantum mechanics has come into sharper focus. We now realise that quantum
mechanics is less about particles and waves  uncertainty and fuzziness  than a theory about
information: about what can be known and how. The quantum world isn't a different world: it is
our world  and if anything deserves to be called 'weird'  it's us. This exhilarating book is
about what quantum maths really means - and what it doesn't mean.
