My first book of quantum physics / by Ferrón, Sheddad Kaid-Sala,author.(CARDINAL)678783; Altarriba, Eduard,illustrator.(CARDINAL)356116;
Everything in the universe -- including light, water, air, planets, buildings, animals, and people -- is made of minute particles. Quantum physics is the science of these tiny particles. The discoveries made in quantum physics have been the driving force behind technological advances ranging from cell phones to lasers and medical imaging. Without it, most of the technology we take for granted simply wouldn't exist.

The cat in the box / by Ferrie, Chris,author.(CARDINAL)352374; Sherry, Kevin,illustrator.(CARDINAL)482081;
"Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment meant to explain the flawed interpretation of quantum superposition. Chris Ferrie has broken the experiment into a whimsical picture book perfect for scientists to give and receive as a gift. And even some of our younger scientists will enjoy the playful cadence that transpires! Schrödinger used This cat in a box To dream up the first Quantum paradox. A paradox is something That doesn't make sense. There must be an assumption That is causing offense"--

Philosophy of physics : a very short introduction / by Wallace, David,1976-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 133-138) and index.Philosophy of Physics: A Very Short Introduction explores the core topics of philosophy of physics through three key themes: the nature of space and time; the origin of irreversibility and probability in the physics of large systems; how we can make sense of quantum mechanics. Central issues discussed include: the scientific method as it applies in modern physics; the distinction between absolute and relative motion; the way that distinction changes between Newton's physics and special relativity; what spacetime is and how it relates to the laws of physics; how fundamental physics can make no distinction between past and future and yet a clear distinction exists in the world we see around us; why it is so difficult to understand quantum mechanics, and why doing so might push us to change our fundamental physics, to rethink the nature of science, or even to accept the existence of parallel universes. --

21 impossible things / by Vittachi, Nury,1958-author.(CARDINAL)653035; Cheung, Step,illustrator.;
Introduction: 21 impossible things -- 1 Reality is not what it seems to be -- 2 Seeing what isn't there -- 3 A world of dust -- 4 Reality is a complicated place -- 5 Stepping beyond reality -- 6 An invisible dimension exists -- 7 A football in place -- 8 The mysteriously heavy feather -- 9 Keeping body and soul together -- 10 You can move an elephant -- 11 Invisible hands, everywhere -- 12 Is this the real life? -- 13 The time traveller -- 14 Time for a change -- 15 A ripple in reality -- 16 A world made of nothing -- 17 Reality disappears -- 18 The mystery of free will -- 19 The most famous cat in science -- 20 The cursed scientist -- 21 Twins who are a universe apart -- Epilogue: The journey is just beginning -- 22 Bonus tale: the do-it-yourself universe.Quantum physics and relativity, two of the most important advances in modern science, are normally presented as a series of technical discoveries in 20th century Europe. Yet this brief, easy-to-read volume shows how they were underpinned by centuries of observations about the nature of reality from the great philosophies and faiths of humanity, from China to India to the Middle East.At each stage, the people involved found themselves saying: 'That's impossible! That makes no sense. And yet...'980L

What is real? : the unfinished quest for the meaning of quantum physics / by Becker, Adam,1984-author.(CARDINAL)353994;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 343-355) and index.Introduction -- Prologue : The impossible done -- Part I. A tranquilizing philosophy. The measure of all things -- Something rotten in the eigenstate of Denmark -- Street brawl -- Copenhagen in Manhattan -- Part II. Quantum dissidents. Physics in exile -- It came from another world! -- The most profound discovery of science -- More things in heaven and earth -- Part III. The great enterprise. Reality underground -- Quantum spring -- Copenhagen versus the universe -- Outrageous fortune -- Appendix. Four views of the strangest experiment."Quantum mechanics is humanity's finest scientific achievement. It explains why the sun shines and how your eyes can see. It's the theory behind the LEDs in your phone and the nuclear hearts of space probes. Every physicist agrees quantum physics is spectacularly successful. But ask them what quantum physics means, and the result will be a brawl. At stake is the nature of the Universe itself. What does it mean for something to be real? What is the role of consciousness in the Universe? And do quantum rules apply to very small objects like electrons and protons, but not us? In What is Real?, Adam Becker brings to vivid life the brave researchers whose quest for the truth led them to challenge Bohr: David Bohm, who picked up Einstein's mantle and sought tomake quantum mechanics deterministic, all while being hounded by the forces of McCarthyism; Hugh Everett, who argued that everything, big and small, must be governed by the same rules; and John Bell, who went to great lengths to eradicate the power of thegod-like observer from the core of quantum physics. And they paid dearly, their reputations, careers, and sometimes lives ruined completely. But history has been kinder to them than their contemporaries were. As Becker shows, the brave intellectual giants have inspired a growing army of physicists and philosophers intent both on making a philosophically more satisfying theory of the universe and a more useful one as well. A gripping story of some of humanity's greatest ideas and the high cost with whichmany have pursued them, What is Real? is intellectual history at its passionate best"--
