quantum theory

"On October 16, 1987 meteorologists predicted a nice, breezy day in the south of England. Instead, the countryside was battered by the worst storm to hit the country in over 300 years. Twenty-two people were killed and damages totaled more than 3.3 million dollars. In the aftermath, scientists asked themselves: why was the forecast wrong? What could have been done to predict this? Meteorologist Tim Palmer discovered the answer: it comes down to embracing chaos. In The Primacy of Doubt, Palmer tells the story of how scientists learned to accurately predict the weather, and how we can use those insights to predict everything else, from the workings of the brain and how it creates consciousness to how quantum mechanics enables everything we see to emerge from just four basic particles"--Provided by publisher.

Explores topics in quantum physics.

"Londons fall and kingdoms rise while darkness sweeps the Maresh Empire, and the fraught balance of magic blossoms into dangerous territory while heroes struggle"--OCLC.

"Engaging images accompany information about teleportation. The combination of high-interest subject matter and narrative text is intended for students in grades 3 through 8"--Provided by publisher.

Presents German physicist Werner Heisenberg's 1958 text in which he discusses the philosophical implications and social consequences of quantum mechanics and other physical theories.

"A book for high school students about the history and key scientists related to the discipline of quantum mechanics"--.

The authors attempt to clarify quantum mechanics and examine what observations of the natural world made it necessary, how it was constructed, and why we are confident that, for all its apparent strangeness, it is a good theory.

"Kell is one of the last Travelers--magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel universes--as such, he can choose where he lands. There's Grey London, dirty and boring, without any magic, ruled by a mad King George. Then there's Red London, where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. White London, ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne--a place where people fight to control magic, and the magic fights back, draining the city to its very bones. And once upon a time, there was Black London...but no one speaks of that now. Officially, Kell is the Red Traveler, personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between the royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see--a dangerous hobby, and one that has set him up for accidental treason"--Provided by publisher.

"Schr?dinger's cat is a thought experiment meant to explain the flawed interpretation of quantum superposition. Chris Ferrie has broken the experiment into a whimsical picture book perfect for scientists to give and receive as a gift. And even some of our younger scientists will enjoy the playful cadence that transpires! Schr?dinger used This cat in a box To dream up the first Quantum paradox. A paradox is something That doesn't make sense. There must be an assumption That is causing offense"--Provided by publisher.
