About the Book

The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen is a book that aims at demystifying quantum physics so that even a person who has elementary knowledge in the field of physics can understand it. Quantum physics is one of the modern sciences which explains the nature and behaviour of the universe at the subatomic level. The book explains in detail just about everything related to quantum physics, from the Higgs Boson to the Planck particle.

The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen describes the impact that quantum science has on the everyday life of the reader, by using everyday phenomenon to explain about it. The book starts with a bang, describing various facets of the world of quantum physics. The laws in the sub-atomic world are very different from the macroscopic laws which we are used to seeing and thus it might leave the readers slightly confused. The book starts with explaining about wave particle duality, which can be considered as the starting point of quantum science. The book then follows up with an explanation in a manner which is non-technical. It describes the path integral formula which is an important concept in quantum mechanics. There are some concepts of uncertainty which can be complex to the readers. The book states that the subatomic level uncertainty is caused not by the lack of knowledge but by the fact that at the core nature is governed by chance.

The Quantum Universe: Everything That Can Happen Does Happen is a book that requires the reader to be well-versed with physics. This is because, as you delve deeper into the book you will encounter various mathematical data and formulae to explain the physics theories. The book was published by Penguin UK in 2012. It is available in paperback.
