Story4.5 out of 5 stars 55
In June 1925, 23-year-old Werner Heisenberg, suffering from hay fever, retreated to a small, treeless island in the North Sea called Helgoland. It was there that he came up with one of the most transformative scientific concepts: quantum theory. Almost a century later, quantum physics has given us many startling ideas: ghost waves, distant objects that seem magically connected to each other, cats that are both dead and alive. Today our understanding of the world around us is based on this theory. And yet it is still profoundly mysterious.

Quantum mechanics demystified
Reviewed: 06-30-22
Carlo Rovelli has the ability to turn a physics discussion into art. His explanations of quantum phenomenon makes more sense than any of the absurd ideas that have been put forward by some others. This book is a must read for anybody wanting to understand the fabric of reality.
