Quantum Physics

What Everyone Needs to Know®

by Michael G. Raymer ...

Series series What Everyone Needs To Know®
Around 1900, physicists started to discover particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and with these discoveries believed they could predict the internal behavior of the atom. However, once their predictions were compared to the results of experiments in the real world, it became clear that the principles of classical physics and mechanics were far from capable of explaining phenomena on ...

Beyond Weird

Unabridged

9 hours 20 min

"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."Since Niels Bohr said this many years ago, quantum mechanics has only been getting more shocking. We now realize that it's not really telling us that "weird" things happen out of sight, on the tiniest level, in the atomic world: rather, everything is quantum. But if quantum mechanics is correct, what seems obvious and right in our ... Read more
