it was amazing
bookshelves: science

I read this book thinking I'd learn about all the cool, quantum weirdness that has been sensationalized in the media. It's really a book about subatomic particles, though, and can get a bit tedious.

Some things I loved about it:

1. The author's homages to other physicists. He digs being a physicist and it shows. And he loves the accomplishments of others.

2. The disucssion about the particle-wave duality. Probably the best I've read.

3. The discussion about the experiments that led to the theory of nonlocality. I found it fascinating to experience this through the author's eyes.
