Product Description

Product Description

In this fascinating and accessible book, physicist Victor J Stenger guides lay readers through the key developments of quantum mechanics and the debate over its apparent paradoxes. In the process, he critically appraises recent metaphysical fads. Dr Stenger's knack for elucidating scientific ideas and controversies in language that the non-specialist can comprehend opens up to the widest possible audience a wealth of information on the most important findings of contemporary physics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quantum mechanics, without the New Age mysticism, 16 Oct 1998
By A Customer
I recommend that you visit Stenger's own site for plenty of examples of his clear, accurate writing on a topic he knows intimately. New Agers beware; this guy knows what he's talking about and shows that you don't.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding (if reader moderately informed about physics), 24 Oct 1997
By A Customer
If you read New Scientist level physics news, you will really like this. It takes you well beyond that level, but very accessibly, and opens new horizons mainly known to professional "quantum mechanics"!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview of History of Discoveries in Quantum Phys, 20 Jan 1999
By A Customer
A deep but essentially non mathematical overview of the progression of scientific theories relating to Quantum Physics. The thesis of the book was to refute the popular idea that recent discoveries in Quantum Mechanics have merged with and in fact provide a scientific support for metaphysical/religious philosophies. This to me was the less interesting part of the book. IN making his arguments Stenger takes the reader through a chronological history of the major discoveries in Quantum Physics. Although very deep for someone not trained in this discipline it is mostly understandable. The non mathematical reader is left hanging in a few places but overall one emerges with a general understanding of the important debates of the day in this field

1.0 out of 5 stars No meaning or morals from philosophers of science, please.
Dr. Stenger stands in a long line of scientists who hold that any opinion or belief held outside of scientism is irrational and without merit. Read more
