Quantum physics helps explain many mysteries of the universe. It underpins everything, but it need not be quantum difficult with this informative, accessible, easy-to-follow guide to the fundamentals and concepts of quantum physics and our quantum universe!Quantum physics is all around us. Its in electrical lights, lasers, and the color of the sky. Without it, the sun wouldnt shine. It even explains how human eyes work. With its role in photosynthesis, it literally supports life. Yet, it had Schrdinger wondering whether his cat was alive or dead. It tells us that something can be both a wave and a particle and that two linked particles can communicate across the universe instantaneously! And it might even explain how the multiverse is real. Quantum physics is the key to understanding our complex world, yet even our most brilliant minds havent figured it all out yet.Engaging and approachable, The Handy Quantum Physics Answer Book helps untangle this complex subject, making quantum physics and its impact on us, the world, and the universe entertaining and easy to grasp. From the basics to the theories and from the practical applications to the future, this illuminating book answers more than 800 fascinating questions so you can easily understand quantum physics, including ...Did the Big Bang arise from quantum foam?When did philosophers first consider the existence of atoms?What is the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated?What are quarks?What is quantum teleportation? What is the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle?What is the quantum principle used in MRI machines?Does entangled time mean the present can affect the past?Why did Albert Einstein say, God does not play dice with the universe?How is a black hole a quantum object?How does quantum physics appear in portrayals of space?Do we live in a multiverse?What is artificial intelligence?Are human brains actually quantum computers?How does quantum physics affect me?The Handy Quantum Physics Answer Book provides a bridge between scientific concepts and everyday understanding, allowing you to grasp the wonders and implications of quantum physics. This compelling resource is for the casually curious as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of one of the most captivating scientific fields of our time. With 135 photos and graphics, this tome is richly illustrated. Its glossary of commonly used terms cuts through the jargon, a helpful bibliography provides sources for further exploration, and an extensive index adds to its usefulness.
