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

This volume the first in the series to be devoted to Einsteins correspondence begins in June 1902 when he went to work at the Swiss Patent Office It closes in March 1914 as Einstein left Switzerland to take up his appointment as a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin The great majority of the more than 500 letters from and to Einstein presented here have not been published before and some of them will be new even to most Einstein scholars They give us a much richer picture of Einstein in his twenties and early thirties than we have ever had We see him through his correspondence with his mother his wife Mileva and from 1912 on his cousin Elsa who would later become his second wife He maintains close ties with old friends but his circle widens particularly after 1906 to include a number of his contemporaries in physics such as Max Laue and Paul Ehrenfest He also develops important relationships with older theoristsMax Planck Arnold Sommerfeld and especially H A Lorentz The letters in this volume clarify the development of his academic career once he leaves the Patent Office in 1909 and bring out the important parts played by such staunch supporters of Einstein as Alfred Kleiner Fritz Haber and above all Walther Nernst Most significant however is the way the letters document crucial aspects of Einsteins scientific activity his concentration for years on the unfathomable problems of quanta and radiation his extensive knowledge of experimental physics his many fruitful interactions with experimentalists and finally his long struggle to generalize the 1905 theory of relativity to include gravitation and accelerated frames of reference

The present volume set in the turbulent postWorld War I period finds Einstein awaiting news of the 1919 British eclipse expedition to test the general relativistic prediction of the deflection of starlight by the sun With the expeditions success he becomes the first science celebrity of our age Deeply interested in the other stellar redshift test of his theory Einstein supports astronomers engaged in experimental work on the issue Piqued by early suggestions of a unified field theory he ponders how to unify gravitation and electromagnetic field theory and also works to resolve contradictions between the new quantum physics and relativity His openminded exchanges with colleagues may challenge his later image as the stubborn critic of quantum mechanics We see Einstein deeply engaged in discussing social and political issues participating in humanitarian efforts and intervening on behalf of intellectuals condemned to death after the fall of the Bavarian Soviet republic He faced antiSemitic outbursts reflected increasingly on his own identity as a Jew and assisted in efforts toward the establishment of the Hebrew University As an internationalist opponent of war and a Germanspeaking Swiss citizen whose renown was sealed by the Englishman Eddingtons confirmation of relativity Einstein mitigated postwar hostility toward German scholars Correspondence with family and friends documents his divorce remarriage to his cousin and his closeness to his two sons Notwithstanding evidence in newly uncovered material concerning efforts to lure Einstein back to Switzerland and also to the Netherlands Einstein entertaining high hopes for the young Weimar Republic remained in Berlin This volume reveals new facets of Einstein as he constructively participated in German and European scientific academic and cultural life
