A very fun way to learn about where quantum physics comes from and the strange even astonishing places it has gone Peter Galison Harvard University author of Einsteins Clocks Poincarés MapsFrom multiverses and quantum leaps to Schrödingers cat and time travel quantum mechanics has irreversibly shaped the popular imagination Entertainers and writers from Lady Gaga to David Foster Wallace take advantage of its associations and nuances In The Quantum Moment philosopher Robert P Crease and physicist Alfred Scharff Goldhaber recount the fascinating story of how the quantum jumped from physics into popular culture with brief explorations of the underlying math and physics concepts and descriptions of the fiery disputes among figures including Einstein Schrödinger and Niels Bohr Understanding and appreciating quantum imagery its uses and abuses is part of what it means to be an educated person in the twentyfirst century The Quantum Moment serves as an indispensable guide 61 illustrations maps

The fascinating story of how quantum mechanics went mainstream The discovery of the quantumthe idea born in the early 1900s in a remote corner of physics that energy comes in finite packets instead of infinitely divisible quantitiesplanted a rich set of metaphors in the popular imagination Quantum imagery and language now bombard us like an endless stream of photons Phrases such as multiverses quantum leaps alternate universes the uncertainty principle and Schrödingers cat get reinvented continually in cartoons and movies coffee mugs and Tshirts and fiction and philosophy reinterpreted by each new generation of artists and writersIs a quantum leap big or small How uncertain is the uncertainty principle Is this barrage of quantum vocabulary pretentious and wacky or a fundamental shift in the way we thinkAll the above say Robert P Crease and Alfred Scharff Goldhaber in this pathbreaking book The authorsone a philosopher the other a physicistdraw on their training and six years of coteaching to dramatize the quantums rocky path from scientific theory to public understanding Together they and their students explored missteps and mistranslations jokes and gibberish of public discussion about the quantum Their book explores the quantums manifestations in everything from art and sculpture to the prose of John Updike and David Foster Wallace The authors reveal the quantums implications for knowledge metaphor intellectual exchange and the contemporary world Understanding and appreciating quantum language and imagery and recognizing its misuse is part of what it means to be an educated person todayThe result is a celebration of language at the interface of physics and culture perfect for anyone drawn to the infinite variety of ideas 61 illustrations maps

Niels Bohr ranks with Einstein among the physicists of the 20th century He rose to this status through his invention of the quantum theory of the atom and his leadership in its defense and development He also ranks with Einstein in his humanism and his sense of responsibility to his science and the society that enabled him to create it Our book presents unpublished excerpts from extensive correspondence between Bohr and his immediate family and uses it to describe and analyze the psychological and cultural background to his invention The book also contains a reprinting of the three papers of 1913 the Trilogy in which Bohr worked out the provisional basis of a quantum theory of the atom
