From Schrodingers cat to Heisenbergs uncertainty principle, this book untangles the weirdness of the quantum world.Quantum mechanics underpins modern science and provides us with a blueprint for reality itself. And yet it has been said that if youre not shocked by it, you dont understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality really so strange? And just how can cats be halfalive and halfdead at the same time?Our journey into the quantum begins with natures own conjuring trick, in which we discover that atoms contrary to the rules of everyday experience can exist in two locations at once. To understand this we travel back to the dawn of the twentieth century and witness the birth of quantum theory, which over the next one hundred years was to overthrow so many of our deeply held notions about the nature of our universe. Scientists and philosophers have been left grappling with its implications every since.
