The quantum universe : (and why anything that can happen, does) / by Cox, Brian,1968-; Forshaw, J. R.(Jeffrey Robert),1968-;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Something strange is afoot -- Being in two places at once -- What is a particle? -- Everything that can happen does happen -- Movement as an illusion -- The music of the atoms -- The universe in a pin-head (and why we don't fall through the floor) -- Interconnected -- The modern world -- Interaction -- Empty space isn't empty -- Epilogue : the death of stars.The Quantum Universe brings together two authors on a brilliantly ambitious mission to show that everyone can understand the deepest questions of science. But just what is quantum physics? How does it help us understand the universe? Where does it leave Newton and Einstein? And how - for all its apparently counter-intuitive ideas - can we be sure that the theory is good? The bizarre behaviour of the atoms and energy that make up the universe has lead to some woolly pronouncements on the nature of all interconnectedness - but Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw reveal the simple and understandable theories that allow for concrete, yet astonishing, predictions about the world around us. From entangled twins to the incredible double-slit experiment, The Quantum Universe will give every reader the most up-to-date picture of that amazing subatomic world, where thousands of years of physics must be rewritten completely.
