About the Book



An introduction to quantum physics and quantum theory, aimed at non-scientists.



Book Synopsis



A fascinating journey for the general reader from the earliest and most fundamental concepts of physics to the furthest limits of science and imagination--an American Book Award winner.



From the Back Cover



Entertainingly traces the history of physics from the observations of the early Greeks through the discoveries of Galileo and Newton to the dazzling theories of such scientists as Planck, Einstein, Bohr, and Bohm. This humanized view of science opens up the mind-stretching visions of how quantum mechanics, God, human thought, and will are related, and provides profound implications for our understanding of the nature of reality and our relationship to the cosmos.
