Quantum Drama

From the Bohr-Einstein Debate to the Riddle of Entanglement

by Dr Jim Baggott, Prof John L. Heilbron ...

The definitive account of the great Bohr-Einstein debate and its continuing legacy. In 1927, Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began a debate about the interpretation and meaning of the new quantum theory. This would become one of the most famous debates in the history of science. At stake were an understanding of the purpose, and defense of the integrity, of science. What (if any) limits should we ... Read more

Higgs:The invention and discovery of the 'God Particle'

The invention and discovery of the 'God Particle'

by Jim Baggott ...

The hunt for the Higgs particle has involved the biggest, most expensive experiment ever. So exactly what is this particle? Why does it matter so much? What does it tell us about the Universe? Has the discovery announced on 4 July 2012 finished the search? And was finding it really worth all the effort?The short answer is yes. The Higgs field is proposed as the way in which particles gain mass - a ... Read more

Mass

The quest to understand matter from Greek atoms to quantum fields

by Jim Baggott ...

Everything around us is made of 'stuff', from planets, to books, to our own bodies. Whatever it is, we call it matter or material substance. It is solid; it has mass. But what is matter, exactly? We are taught in school that matter is not continuous, but discrete. As a few of the philosophers of ancient Greece once speculated, nearly two and a half thousand years ago, matter comes in 'lumps', and ... Read more

What does it mean to be human? How do we know? There are many different versions of our creation story. This book tells the version according to modern science.

Loop Quantum Gravity and the Search for the Structure of Space, Time, and the Universe

by Jim Baggott ...

Combining clear discussions of both quantum theory and general relativity, this book offers one of the first efforts to explain the new quantum theory of space and time. Today we are blessed with two extraordinarily successful theories of physics. The first is Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, which describes the large-scale behaviour of matter in a curved spacetime. This theory is ... Read more

How Fairytale Physics Betrays the Search for Scientific Truth

by Jim Baggott ...

Modern physics is heady stuff. It seems that barely a week goes by without some new astounding science story; some revelation about hidden dimensions, multiple universes, the holographic principle or incredible cosmic coincidences. But is it true? What evidence do we have for super-symmetric squarks', or superstrings vibrating in an 11-dimensional space-time? How do we know that we live in a ... Read more

The Quest for the Real Meaning of Quantum Mechanics - a Game of Theories

by Jim Baggott ...

Quantum mechanics is an extraordinarily successful scientific theory. It is also completely mad. Although the theory quite obviously works, it leaves us chasing ghosts and phantoms; particles that are waves and waves that are particles; cats that are at once both alive and dead; and lots of seemingly spooky goings-on. But if we're prepared to be a little more specific about what we mean when we ... Read more
