What is a good book about Quantum Physics for the layman?
Q. I would like to learn more about Quantum Physics. I am something of a novice when it comes to science but I'm not an idiot either. Can you recommend a book about Quantum Physics which is both entertaining and informative? Many Thanks, Sally.

A. A good one to start with is The Dancing Wu Li Masters. It's a pretty good book with no mathematics, and does a good job explaining the "weird" stuff in physics.

What is a very, very simple definition of quantum physics?
Q. Needless to say, I am not gifted in Science or Math. After looking it up on Wikipedia, I blushed. I need someone to give me a very basic understanding of what quantum physics is and how to apply it to the mind. Thank you.

A. All it is is the study of the movement of particles at the smallest level possible (atomic).

To answer your question, I think that 12th grade will be OK to study it. But you mentioned 6th and 8th grade, it would be too early for that.

What is the study of quantum physics called?
Q. You know how geology is the study of earth and geography is the study of the earth's features, what would be the study of quantum physics?
Asked by tejasree7 - Mon Sep 8 21:22:38 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Depends on whether you want to study relativistic particle physics version of quantum physics or standard nonrelativistic quantum physics. Regular nonrelativistic quantum physics is called quantum mechanics. The relativistic particle version is called quantum field theory. Very few fields in physics have names that end with suffixes like -logy, unlike fields in the other sciences. The only ones I can think of are astronomy (which is now being called observational astrophysics), and particle phenomenology, which is the application of particle physics theories to experiments. Fields of study within physics are usually referred to by the name of the subject of study (like condensed matter physics) or the name of the theory (string theory).

A. I can't really answer your question as to what careers require quantum physics. Most people that devote their careers strictly to quantum phsycis probably go on to be professors and do research/development work. Life without quantum physics, on the other hand, I can say a few words. The principles behind quantum physics provides explanation for the interactions between subatomic paritcles (protons, electrons, etc.) which intern gives insight into the bonding of various atoms. Through all of this, studying quantum physics led to the creation of things like transistors and diodes which play integral parts in the operation of modern electronics.

It's got to be fairly easy to read for a lay person with a basic understanding about quantum effects (I'm not looking for a physics text book of a book filled with equations).

If you want books about the latest scientific research then you should read the more recent popular books e.g. by Brian Greene, Paul Davies, Hawking etc. But despite these authors being very good physicists, they don't explain quantum physics to the lay person as well as Heinz Pagels did in his book. So, perhaps you should buy the book by Pagels and some more recently written books.

A. There is no direct relation, but there are similarities in that you are basically answering questions in your own mind. Often you are thinking about things which you will never know the real answer. Just as physicists can discuss what is the smallest particle (the answer has frequently changed over the last 100 years) a philosopher may ask "what is the path to enlightenment". The true answer to both questions are seemingly unknowable. However, both parties will often derive an answer in their mind that they are comfortable with or that seems to allow their world to 'make sense' (at least for the time being). A book that may touch on this type of question could be "Physics As Metaphor" by Roger Jones. I read it many years ago.

A. 1) quantum physics deals with physics on an extremely small scale, where classical (everyday physics) cannot properly describe what is going on. We are talking atomic scale and smaller 2) Time travel is more theoretical physics. If you want to learn cool things about time and space and how they get distorted at speeds very close to the speed of light look up einstein's special theory of relativity. This is not quantum physics though 3) quantum physics goes into things like describing an atom and how it works. basically the standard model everyone hears about (a nucleus with an electron in orbit) doesn't really work with what we observe experimentally with the atom. There are so many subjects that are considered quantum physics...too many… [cont.]

Like chess you can spend a lifetime looking into . quantum physics. and never know all there is to know here I'm going to give you a run down of the basic moves, enough that you should understand the basics without any difficulty. ...
