Through Two Doors at Once - 125 Ann

by Unknown Author

A science writer with a gift for making the complicated comprehensible, Anil Ananthaswamy tells the story of quantum mechanics from the perspective of the seemingly simple, but utterly confounding double-slit experiment. He traces the various attempts to explain the enigma, from Thomas Young in 1793 to Richard Feynman, who described ‘the experiment with two holes’ as containing ‘all the mystery of quantum mechanics‘.

[Tim Steenbergen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is absolutely incredible. It guides you through some of the most groundbreaking (the simple ones, though) experiments in physics and makes you question reality every few pages. It is absolutely fascinating how this book can present such incredibly shocking experiments in such an elegant and understandable way.
The knowledge requirement to start reading is very small. Know a little bit about wave-particle duality and what the double split experiment is, and you will flow smoothly through this book.
If you are interested in quantum physics and its implications, read this book!
