Are you ready to master Quantum Physics fast through just four bizarre discoveries, even if you’ve got zero prior experience or training in the subject?
Then keep reading....
In 1965, the great American physicist Richard Feynman famously proclaimed, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics." Is there any wonder why?
Particles that pop in and out of existence....
Spooky action at a distance that travels faster than light....
Infinite universes and branching realities….
Most people, unfortunately, were never taught how wonderful and spectacular quantum physics really and truly is in school....
And the ones who do receive formal training are overwhelmed with advanced mathematics that only makes sense to a fraction of the population....
In this book, we will break through the confusion and reveal to you the most important ideas of quantum physics, told through the amazing true story of just four bizarre discoveries–many of which were made completely by accident!
In Quantum Physics, Into the Light, you’ll discover:
- How one young physicist accidentally discovered quantum physics with a math trick and changed our entire understanding of light and matter forever.
- The true secret nature of light (get ready to be extremely confused).
- How a playful riddle about a dead cat started as a joke but later smashed our entire interpretation of reality forever.
- How a man you’ve never heard of took us to the brink of a Theory of Everything (and why we’re not there yet).
- And a whole lot more!
So if you’re ready to master quantum physics fast (and in plain English), buy this audiobook now!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Historia
"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

In this 24-lesson course aimed at non-scientists, noted particle physicist Dr. Don Lincoln of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory covers more than a century of progress in physics, describing exactly how scientists reach the conclusions they do. He starts with the atom, which was long hypothesized but wasn’t definitively proven until a paper by Albert Einstein in 1905. That was just the beginning, as researchers probed ever deeper into the atom’s complex structure, leading to the weird findings of quantum mechanics.

In physicist Stephen Hawking's brilliant opus, A Brief History of Time, he presented us with a bold new look at our universe, how it began, and how our old views of physics and tired theories about the creation of the universe were no longer relevant. In other words, Hawking gave us a new look at our world, our universe, and ourselves. Now, Hawking presents an even more comprehensive look at our universe, its creation, and how we see ourselves within it.

In The Quantum Universe, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw approach the world of quantum mechanics in the same way they did in Why Does E=mc2? and make fundamental scientific principles accessible - and fascinating - to everyone.The subatomic realm has a reputation for weirdness, spawning any number of profound misunderstandings, journeys into Eastern mysticism, and woolly pronouncements on the interconnectedness of all things. Cox and Forshaw's contention? There is no need for quantum mechanics to be viewed this way.

Perhaps the biggest question Stephen Hawking tried to answer in his extraordinary life was how the universe could have created conditions so perfectly hospitable to life. In order to solve this mystery, Hawking studied the big bang origin of the universe, but his early work ran into a crisis when the math predicted many big bangs producing a multiverse—countless different universes, most of which would be far too bizarre to harbor life.

From Schrodinger's cat to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this book untangles the weirdness of the quantum world. Quantum mechanics underpins modern science and provides us with a blueprint for reality itself. And yet it has been said that if you're not shocked by it, you don't understand it. But is quantum physics really so unknowable? Is reality really so strange? And just how can cats be half alive and half dead at the same time?

In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.

Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist and one of this world’s most celebrated writers on science, rewrites the history of 20th-century physics. Already hailed as a masterpiece, Something Deeply Hidden shows for the first time that facing up to the essential puzzle of quantum mechanics utterly transforms how we think about space and time. His reconciling of quantum mechanics with Einstein’s theory of relativity changes, well, everything. Most physicists haven’t even recognized the uncomfortable truth: Physics has been in crisis since 1927.

When Newton discovered the law of gravity, he unified the rules governing the heavens and the Earth. Since then, physicists have been placing new forces into ever-grander theories. But perhaps the ultimate challenge is achieving a monumental synthesis of the two remaining theories—relativity and the quantum theory. This would be the crowning achievement of science, a profound merging of all the forces of nature into one beautiful, magnificent equation to unlock the deepest mysteries in science: What happened before the Big Bang?

That's Relativity.” But when most normal people without advanced training attempt to study the subject seriously, they’re quickly weighed down by the mathematics…

Mathematics shapes almost everything we do. But despite its reputation as the study of fundamental truths, the stories we have been told about it are wrong—warped like the sixteenth-century map that enlarged Europe at the expense of Africa, Asia and the Americas. In The Secret Lives of Numbers, renowned math historian Kate Kitagawa and journalist Timothy Revell make the case that the history of math is infinitely deeper, broader, and richer than the narrative we think we know.

Born out of violence and the aspirations of its early settlers, the United States of America has become one of the world's most powerful nations. This audiobook begins in colonial America as the first Europeans arrived, lured by the promise of financial profit, driven by religious piety, and accompanied by diseases that would ravage the native populations. Woven through this richly crafted study of America's shifting social and political landscapes are the multiple perspectives of the nation's history, helping to define the United States at the dawn of a new century.

Historia
In a field known for startling ideas, the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics may take the prize. It holds that parallel to our own world are a large number of other universes, almost identical to ours but with small variations. Copies of each of us inhabit a myriad of these worlds. But they are not us exactly; they share our past history, but they are different people who have unique futures. Although these realms are invisible and can’t communicate with each other, prominent physicists are convinced they must exist.

Jeff Tarrant was fascinated by the paranormal as a child but then his training as a neuropsychologist turned him into a hardcore skeptic. If something could not be reliably and consistently demonstrated in the laboratory, then it wasn’t real. These rigid ideas were gradually worn away as he repeatedly witnessed and experienced things that simply should not be possible—telekenesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, mediumship, energy healing, and more. This book follows his journey of studying, interviewing, and testing a wide variety of mediums, psychics, and healers.

A father cleans up after his toddler and imagines a cup that won't spill. An engineer watches people using walkie-talkies and has an idea. A doctor figures out how to deliver patients to the operating room before they die. By studying inventions like these—the sippy cup, the cell phone, and an ingenious hospital bed—we can learn how people imagine their way around "impossible" problems to discover groundbreaking answers. Pagan Kennedy reports on how these enduring methods can be adapted to the twenty-first century.

Historia
In this groundbreaking audiobook, neuropsychology professor Chris Niebauer explains how after decades of research on the brain, Western science may have inadvertently confirmed a fundamental tenet of Buddhism: anatta, or the doctrine of "no self". Niebauer shows how findings in neuropsychology suggest that our sense of self is actually an illusion created by the left side of the brain and that it exists in the same way a mirage in the middle of the desert exists: as a thought rather than a thing.

The Mexican War brought vast new territories to the United States, which precipitated a growing crisis over slavery. The new territories seemed unsuitable for the type of agriculture that depended on slave labor, but they lay south of the line where slavery was permitted by the 1820 Missouri Compromise. The subject of expanding slavery to the new territories became a flash point between North and South.

People often believe that the years immediately prior to AD 1000 were, with just a few exceptions, lacking in any major cultural developments or geopolitical encounters, that the Europeans hadn’t yet reached North America, and that the farthest feat of sea travel was the Vikings’ invasion of Britain. But how, then, to explain the presence of blond-haired people in Maya temple murals at Chichén Itzá, Mexico? Could it be possible that the Vikings had found their way to the Americas during the height of the Maya empire?

Great Quantum Physics Primer
Early on in the book, the author asks. "What is the true nature of the universe?" Anyone who's read Douglas Adams knows the answer to that. 42. All these years later, it turns out the reason why it is 42 is because of quantum physics.
I am not a science major, but I've always been fascinated by physics and curious about quantum physics.
This book provides an easy to understand history lesson on the origins of quantum physics, which is perfect for a beginner like me who is curious and wants to learn more, but doesn't have a science background.
Many probably know the thought experiment known as Schrödinger's cat. (Spoiler alert.) Now I understand what an entangled particle is, and I know that if you have one entangled particle in the box and one outside the box, you can understand what's happening in the box without actually opening it. Cool.
Apparently, I will also now have an easier time understanding the 2nd Dr. Strange movie, once the version of me in this universe gets around to seeing it.
The narrator has a great voice, too.

Significantly Informative!
I wish I had this audiobook while in undergraduate. The concept of physics terrified me and I barley got through the courses. An audiobook such as this would have served as a fantastic resource. The book is simplistic in the description of the subject matter, easy to follow and simply a pleasure to listen to. Highly recommend this audiobook to any aspiring physicist.

Knowing Quantum Physics
This is a step by step a guide that breaks down the complicated concepts of quantum physics. Before I had no idea what it entails until I listened to this book.It is ver informative as the author has done a good job in breaking down the jaw breaking language and terms to easy to understand. I enjoyed learning about the theories with little mastering of the arithmetic.

Loved the history and the details.
It was great to read about the history and evolving theories. He provided solid proof of the equations, just enough to get me to research them further.
Awesome book.

Such a Great Resource
I highly recommend this audiobook! The author has written a well researched and understandable introduction to quantum physics. I never thought I would say that outside of a Marvel reference. This book is great for beginner’s or those simply wanting to brush up on their knowledge. The audiobook crisscrosses from the start of quantum physics to those who have laid the groundwork for the subject and onto its fundamental theories. This is a must listen!

Incredibly interesting and digestible Quantum Phys
I have always found Quantum Physics quite intimidating, such a complex subject to fully grasp and digest. I'm so glad I found this book. The author did an incredible job in breaking down multiple topics within this field in an easy to comprehend manner, his writing style is so engaging! The book covers many interesting topics such as the Big Bang theory, black holes, electrons, dark energy, gravity and much more. I am so glad that now I have a much better understanding of Quantum Physics and able to have interesting conversations with my son who is fascinated by space! This is perfect for those who want to brush up the knowledge from school days and no longer feel intimidated by this field! Highly recommend!

Great listen!
I must say that before I started this book, I was a little apprehensive as quantum physics can be complex and confusing but that was not the case when I was done listening. I really liked how the author broke down the concepts of physics in such an easy to understand and simple manner. I specifically like the part about the creation of the universe and space and time. If you've ever wanted to learn about quantum physics, then this book is for you.

Fascinating and informative
As an interior designer, I thought I couldn't be further away from being interested in quantum physics. But I do like reading and listening to books on many different topics to keep my mind engaged. When I saw the title, I decided that I can understand this mysterious quantum physics stuff. Well, I was right. This audiobook is not just easy to understand but it's fascinating to listen to as it presents quantum physics in a very creative and engaging manner. And excellent narration keeps up with the overall high quality of the book. The most interesting chapters for me were the quantum physics applications. However, one chapter stands out: What really happened at Chernobyl. I lived 60 miles from Chernobyl when the disaster happened, so I know firsthand what it felt like, not from the HBO series. I'm glad the book gives a very good explanation of the accident because most people have no idea about it. Many thanks to John Stoddard!
