Status Updates From Quantum Drama: From the Boh...

The authors make the physics community of the 1920s sound very spiteful and intolerant. In fact the opposite was true: they worked together very well, often exchanging letters and visits in search of the secrets of the universe.

They also impugn the skill of Davisson and Germer, Nobel prize winners, calling them “sloppy experimentalists.”

The authors continue to cover interesting concepts, but in a way that is too clever. Sometimes their attempts at erudition and cleverness make their writing hard to follow, even for an expert such as myself.

I’ve always liked Baggott’s writing, but in this book the prologue is rather convoluted and slightly pretentious. I hope that the rest of the book is more straightforward.
