How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog

Product Information

I can totally see there being a sweet spot, though, an audience for this book both dog-happy and math-friendly—but I just don’t belong to that, and I have plenty of other physics books I still need to read. He makes the point that dogs (and nonscientists) have an advantage in learning quantum physics because they have fewer preconceived notions of how the world works, so they can more easily accept some of the basic concepts. Turns out we are running into very similar linguistic problems when we adopt the expression 'field' in the hope this would solve the issues. In a baffling feat, 'particles' exist in all their allowed states simultaneously, like a schizophrenic who manages to act out all his different personalities at once.

Maybe a dog person would find Chad Orzel’s attempts to talk quantum mechanics in the language of a pet and her owner more endearing. It has a lot of complicated stuff to explain but it does so with everyday examples how explains why the physics of the very small are so weird and different from the normal everyday physics. When adopted from the shelter by physics professor Chad Orzel, she becomes immediately fascinated by his work. I was recommended to read this as a light hearted way to learn a little bit more about Quantum Physics and to be honest, it wasn't that bad.

Here you will find the most fundamental concepts related to quantum physics explained: Uncertainty principle, particle-wave duality, many worlds theory and quantum entanglement.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not easy to read and after some chapters I had to watch some videos and do further reading to really comprehend the things covered here. It's far less mathematical than the book on quantum physics by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw ( Brian Cox Jeff Forshaw) and, perhaps because of that, is much more enjoyable.If they were bor­ing lit­tle holes through the bar­rier, they would lose some en­ergy in the process, and we’d be able to de­tect that.

Taking Emmy's anarchic behaviour as a starting point, Orzel explains the key theories of quantum physics. The author knows his subject very well and knows how to explain it without relying on mathematical equations.

Bueno, como libro de divulgación científica, se trata de una obra muy entretenida, y sobre todo, sencilla de entender para el más ignorante en el tema.
