The Ghost in the Atom

A discussion of the Mysteries of Quantum Science

Edited by P. C.W Davies and J. R. Brown

 

The Ghost in the Atom

     "Anybody who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it." Niels Bohr's dictum bears witness to the bewildering impact of quantum theory, which has flown in the face of classical physics, dramatically transformed scientists' outlook on our relationship with the material world, and generated unprecedented controversy amongst scientists. This book, based on a series of radio broadcasts, includes interviews by Paul Davies with eight eminent physicists: 

  • Alain Aspect

  • John Bell

  • John Wheeler

  • Rudolf Peierls

  • David Deutsch

  • John Taylor

  • David Bohm

  • Basil Hiley

     Each of these scientists is involved in debating and testing quantum theory; the diversity of their views regarding the significance of the theory makes fascinating reading.
