A thrilling narrative history of science’s most fundamental revolution, and the divisive debate between Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr and the band of brilliant young men at its heart. Quantum theory is weird.As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is a byword for mysterious, impenetrable science. And yet for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly-written account of this fundamental scientific revolution. But his centre piece is the conflict between Einstein and Bohr over the nature of reality and the soul of science. A close look at the golden age of physics, the brilliant young mind satits centre and how an idea ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the twentieth century.
