Along with the Michelson–Morley experiment, the double-slit experiment is one of the most ground breaking experiments in the history of modern physics. For many years I’ve seen references to the double-slit experiment in books on quantum mechanics, but there was never enough detail about the experiment; especially about the photon detection methods used. The more..
I really, really enjoyed this book – it compensates for so many really bad “Great Courses” hours! This is a well narrated (by the book’s author, see below for voice artist performance) overview on current (yes, Great Courses, CURRENT, not decades old) perspectives on the Quantum World, the Copenhagen Interpretation and approaches to the “macroscopic..

The beginning of the book had me worried about pacing, but it pics up quickly and Putin’s rise to power is fascinating with portions that seem would only be real in the movies.

If you’re curious how a lowly #spy went from a posting in a #ColdWar backwater to #President of the largest landmass, this book is a great place to start. This #biography of one of the world’s most corrupt leaders also reads like a post-Cold War biography of the #RussianFederation, always sad and always intriguing. #tagsgiving..
Gillian Segal basically wrote a modern day version of Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it to anyone. The choice of readers as well as having men speak for men and women speak for women young and old was done extremely well. Great job!
This book does a few things really well. It uses the double-slit-experiment (and a few related experiments) to critically review the most important interpretations of QM. This includes pointing out the problems with each theory. This is actually rather tricky to do in a book for non-scientists, and this is one of the only books..

Complicated subject matter gently unfolded. You might not remember everything, but you’ll have a terrific time listening.
My son and I used the book for our daily homeschool coarse on spirituality. It was written in simple language that was easy to follow.
