reviewed Quantum: Einstein, Bohr, and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality on November 01, 2014
Quantum
If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review.
In the 15th chapter the key to Quantum Mechanics (QM). It was Richard Feynman who said, "I think it is safe to say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics."
This book does not help either.
Quantum mechanics is the spookiest theoretical framework ever devised by man. Cats that are at the same time alive and dead ("Superposition" = "We do not know"; "Collapsing the superposition" = "finding out" whether the cat is alive and kicking), objects that are both particles and waves, etc.
3 stars for the two chapters dealing with the 1927 and 1930 Solvay conferences.
