Vintage books Beyond Weird Болл Филип

‘I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.’ Richard Feynman wrote this in 1965 – the year he was awarded the Nobel prize in physics for his work on quantum mechanics.

This exhilarating book is about what quantum maths really means – and what it doesn’t mean
