Book desription: Cambridge University Press, (Cambridge, 1994), reprint.. 123 pp, 8vo (8 1/2" H), soft cover. B&w illus. "Albert Einstein's celebrated remark that 'God does not play dice' was his response to a set of new scientific ideas now known as quantum physics. These theories threatened the ordered determination . of the Newtonian universe, presenting the radical callenge of an unstable world disturbed by our very attempts to measure or observe it. One of the prime fascinations of quantum physics is precisely the great conceptual leap it requires us to make . from our conventional ways of thinking about the physical world. It introduces instead the alarming possibilities that the observer's mind is the only reality, or that there may be parallel universes. Alternatively, its very contradictions may sug. gest that despite its manifest successes, quantum physics still leaves us in need of a further revolution in thought and the final complete theory of the physical universe. Alastair Rae's introductory exploration has been hailed as a 'masterpiec. e o f clarity', and offers an engaging guide to the theories on offer." Interior - very light browning to page edges, otherwise clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - clean and bright. VG+.
