Introducing Quantum Theory: A Graphic Guide
by J.P. McEvoy, Oscar Zárate
Do your wave functions collapse even after you’ve applied sculpting hair spray? Do your observations frequently change your reality? Well, then, this is not the book for you. Quantum theory is some mind bending material and I’m just vaguely familiar enough to almost be able to review this book. It does an amazing job of condensing the history of the primary players and discoveries, and, mostly, makes them understandable. There’s a whole series of these graphic guides being offered via Prime Reading and it was a timely suggestion (coming my way shortly after reading the amazing [b:Death's End|25451264|Death's End (Remembrance of Earth’s Past #3)|Liu Cixin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1430330507l/25451264._SY75_.jpg|18520265]). The graphics were helpful depicting some of the experiments and put faces with the many names, but many of them were just speech text bubbles in cartoon/comic book style (the resolution was pretty crappy in the Kindle version making them hard to read even when enlarged).
It definitely inspired me to read more on the subject. When they decimated the commutative property of multiplication I knew my whole childhood had been a lie. (I’m just joking—-this realization occurred prior to this reading).
There are still a great number of unsolved problems in physics, but all you need to know is that the same rules for really big things don’t work for the really small things. Just like we have different rules for the rich and the poor but wish everyone was treated equally.
