The Quantum Universe

The Quantum Universebrings 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. Here, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw gives us the real science, and reveal the profound theories that allow for concrete, yet astonishing, predictions about the world.

This is our up-to-date picture of reality.
