Time travel, parallel worlds, random behaviour: the language and
the imagery of quantum mechanics are ubiquitous, yet the
science-and its journey into everyday language-still confounds us.
Robert P. Crease and Alfred Scharff Goldhaber tell how a
controversial idea from an obscure branch of optics grew in
complexity and authority, eventually dominating the scientific
community and commanding the attention of the culture at large.
Recounting fiery disputes between figures including Einstein,
Schroedinger and Pauli, the authors trace popular images back to
their scientific roots and uncover modern manifestations in
everything from architecture and sculpture to the prose of John
Updike. The Quantum Moment combines an exhilarating history of the
quantum with shrewd insight into our experience of the everyday.
