But just what is quantum physics? How does it help us understand the universe? Where does it leave Newton and Einstein? And how - for all its apparently counter-intuitive ideas - can we be sure that the theory is good? The bizarre behaviour of the atoms and energy that make up the universe has lead to some woolly pronouncements on the nature of all interconnectedness - but Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw reveal the simple and understandable theories that allow for concrete, yet astonishing, predictions about the world around us. From entangled twins to the incredible double-slit experiment, The Quantum Universe will give every reader the most up-to-date picture of that amazing subatomic world, where thousands of years of physics must be rewritten completely. --Résumé de l'éditeur.  aAdult. 0a Cox, Brian, , 1968-  Boston, 2013  1st Da Capo Press pbk. ed  d1968-qAuthor. 0aAlways learning 0a1900-1999 0aNatural Science 0aSouth Africa  aPopular works 0aAdult Non-Fiction  a Earth Sciences  aUnited States  a Cox, Brian, , 1968-  Boston, 2013  1st Da Capo Press pbk. ed    aBible Society of South Africa
