BEYOND WEIRD - PHILIP BALL KARTONIERT (TB)

'A clear and deeply researched account of what's known about the quantum laws of nature  and
how to think about what they might really mean' Nature  '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  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.  'Gorgeously lucid...takes us to the edge of
contemporary theorizing about the foundations of quantum mechanics... Easily the best book I've
read on the subject' Washington Post
