Disc 1: July 13th, 1985 -- Atlantis -- Somebody up there likes Ben -- A decent proposal -- Salvation or bust ; Disc 2: What a disaster! -- O ye of little faith -- Stand by Ben -- Fellow travelers -- Paging Dr. Song ; Disc 3: Leap, die, repeat -- Let them play -- Family style -- S.O.S. ; Disc 4: Ben Song for the defense -- Ben, interrupted -- The friendly skies -- Judgement day.Raymond Lee, Caitlin Bassett, Mason Alexander Park, Ernie Hudson, Nanrisa Lee.Originally broadcast as single episodes of a television program in 2022-2023.It's been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song, has been assembled to restart the project in hope of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it. Everything changes, however, when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving the team behind to solve the mystery of why he did it. At Ben's side throughout his leaps is Addison, who appears in the form of a hologram only Ben can see and hear. She's a decorated Army veteran who brings level-headed precision to her job. At the helm of the highly confidential operation is Herbert 'Magic' Williams, a no-nonsense career military man who has to answer to his bosses who won't be happy once they learn about the breach of protocol. As Ben leaps from life to life, putting right what once went wrong, it becomes clear that he and the team are on a thrilling journey. However, Addison and the team know that if they are going to solve the mystery of Ben's leap and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever.Rating: Not ratedDVD; region 1, anamorphic widescreen (1.78:1) aspect ratio, Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound (English), dual layer, NTSC.

Let's get tiny! : jumping into the science of the smallest part of matter with quantum physics / by Ferrie, Chris,author.(CARDINAL)352374;
"Looking through a microscope, Red Kangaroo discovers the world is full of small things her eyes can't see. She asks Dr. Chris, "What's one of the smallest things in the world?" In his lab, Dr. Chris introduces Red Kangaroo to the world of atoms-from protons to electrons to neutrons. In this new series, Chris Ferrie answers all the questions Red Kangaroo has for him about what things are made of and how things work using real-world and practical examples. Young readers will get a firm grasp of scientificand mathematical concepts to help answer many of the "why" questions they may have"--Ages 4-8580L

Einstein's dice and Schrödinger's cat : how two great minds battled quantum randomness to create a unified theory of physics / by Halpern, Paul,1961-author.(CARDINAL)355648;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 237-254) and index.Allies and adversaries -- The clockwork universe -- The crucible of gravity -- Matter waves and quantum jumps -- The quest for unification -- Spooky connections and zombie cats -- Luck of the Irish -- Physics by public relations -- The last waltz : Einstein's and Schrödinger's final years -- Beyond Einstein and Schrödinger : the ongoing search for unity.Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrodinger were friends and comrades-in-arms against what they considered the most preposterous aspects of quantum physics: its indeterminacy. Einstein famously quipped that God does not play dice with the universe, and Schrodinger is equally well known for his thought experiment about the cat in the box who ends up spread out in a probabilistic state, neither wholly alive nor wholly dead. Both of these famous images arose from these two men's dissatisfaction with quantum weirdness and with their assertion that underneath it all, there must be some essentially deterministic world. Even though it was Einstein's own theories that made quantum mechanics possible, both he and Schrodinger could not bear the idea that the universe was, at its most fundamental level, random. As the Second World War raged, both men struggled to produce a theory that would describe in full the universe's ultimate design, first as collaborators, then as competitors. They both ultimately failed in their search for a Grand Unified Theory--not only because quantum mechanics is true, but because Einstein and Schrodinger were also missing a key component: of the four forces we recognize today (gravity, electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force), only gravity and electromagnetism were known at the time. Despite their failures, though, much of modern physics remains focused on the search for a Grand Unified Theory. As Halpern explains, the recent discovery of the Higgs Boson makes the Standard Model--the closest thing we have to a unified theory--nearly complete. And while Einstein and Schrodinger tried and failed to explain everything in the cosmos through pure geometry, the development of string theory has, in its own quantum way, brought this idea back into vogue. As in so many things, even when he was wrong, Einstein couldn't help but be right.

The quantum magician / by Künsken, Derek,author.;
Belisarius is a Homo quantus, engineered with impossible insight. But his gift is also a curse -- an uncontrollable, even suicidal drive to know, to understand. Genetically flawed, he leaves his people to find a different life, and ends up becoming the galaxy's greatest con man and thief. But the jobs are getting too easy and his extraordinary brain is chafing at the neglect. When a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of secret warships across an enemy wormhole, Belisarius jumps at it. Now he must embrace his true nature to pull off the job, alongside a crew of extraordinary men and women. If he succeeds, he could trigger an interstellar war ... or the next step in human evolution.
