Description

The Quantum Story: A History in 40 Moments by James Edward Baggott and Jim Baggott The twentieth century was marked by significant developments in physics, which had a profound impact on our understanding of the world. From the early years of the century, physicists began to question the fundamental principles of knowledge, leading to a century of discovery and debate. This was a time when scientists developed new technologies that could both inspire and terrify, and when the nature of reality was pushed to its limits. The story of quantum theory is one of both wonder and uncertainty. From the early pioneers of the field, such as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, and Richard Feynman, to the present day, the development of quantum theory has been shaped by a series of significant moments and turning points. This book tells the story of quantum theory in 40 episodes, exploring the key events and ideas that have shaped our understanding of the world. Through this history, the authors aim to provide a clear and engaging account of the development of quantum theory, and its ongoing impact on our world.
