Nature and Nature’s Laws lay hid in Night; God said “Let Newton be!” and All was Light.
The Quantum Moment
Quantum physics has indelibly affected the common imagination, from multiverses and quantum leaps to Schrödinger's cat and time travel. From Lady Gaga to David Foster Wallace, entertainers and authors have taken use of its connections and complexities. With brief explorations of the underlying math and physics concepts and descriptions of the fiery disputes among figures such as Einstein, Schrödinger, and Niels Bohr, philosopher Robert P. Crease and physicist Alfred Scharff Goldhaber tell the fascinating story of how the quantum jumped from physics into popular culture in The Quantum Moment. Understanding and appreciating quantum imaging, as well as its applications and abuses, is an important component of being a well-educated person in the twenty-first century.
