Product Description

Review

"With the vital information from these books there should be no subject upon which you can't give an informed opinion (or at least one that sounds informed.) "
--"Aberdeen Evening Press "

Synopsis

With this book, you can be an instant expert on the quantum universe and bluff your way in the subject with everyone you know. No science required, just a sense of humour. From 'gluons' to 'gravitons', and from 'certainty' to 'superstrings', here's all you need to know to sound all-knowing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never make fun of physicists! (They'll take you seriously.), 4 May 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bluffer's Guide to the Quantum Universe (Bluffers Guides) (Paperback)

Using this book to bluff, you'll never fool a physicist. But there are no dangers to that, because he or she would most likely refrain from starting to talk about Hilbert spaces and unitary operators and the like, since this would bring any dinner discussion to a screeching halt. After passing that hurdle, you're guaranteed to fool everybody else. Besides, the opening sentence of the book ends with "nobody understands what's going on", which also applies to the physicists.

Apart from giving the reader an overview of what these people have been up to the past 100 years, the book is filled to the brim with hilarious anecdotes about the many colourful characters who created quantum mechanics, and struggled in vain to make sense of it. In fact, it paints a fairly accurate picture of the physics community as it is. My advice to my fellow victims would be: fear the day when some sociology student decides to base his thesis on this book!

Even (or rather, especially) if you wear the robes of the physicist priesthood, this book is indispensible - read it in the closet if you must.
