Combining 20th-century physics, astronomy, and quantum mechanics with the traditional archetypes of a tarot deck, this theoretical investigation lends poetic expression to extraordinary scientific theory. With gorgeous illustrations that offer a new glimpse of the universe, the accompanying cards offer both wonderful meditation images and basic tarot functionality. This fascinating analysis examines how the most important theories in modern physics play out in two extreme worlds—the vast expanses of the universe and the strange, invisible world inside the atom itself.
