The International Bestseller
Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world. Yet, at the same time, it’s one of the hardest subjects for ordinary mortals to grasp.
In Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, a husband-and-wife duo demystifies this essential branch of science. He, Frank Verstraete, one of the world’s leading physicists, peels back layers of the quantum world with unparalleled insights into the latest research. She, Céline Broeckaert, a writer, puts these scientific revelations into everyday language with wit and charm. Together, they unravel the reasons the universe behaves in the weird ways it does – and just why it’s so important to understand them.
You will discover:How symmetry governs the universe.The untold stories of pioneering women in quantum science.How quantum principles power our gadgets and lives.The real essence behind quantum puzzles and discoveries.
With this groundbreaking journey into quantum physics, transform your understanding of the universe and its boundless possibilities with clarity, wonder and humour. Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics is a bridge between the complex world of quantum physics and the curious mind – simplifying without diluting and enlightening without overwhelming.
