Quantum theory is one of the more abstract branches of theoretical
physics, yet it makes clear and concrete predictions which are
repeatedly verified experimentally. More recently, there has been
some confluence between the concepts of microphysics and those of
macrophysics. Currently fashionable ideas in cosmology are also
deeply linked to concepts from quantum theory, thus piquing greater
interest in this subject. This timely book takes stock of what
quantum theory has achieved and where it is leading to at present,
in a manner understandable to an educated layman. The book
describes concepts in a strictly scientific manner without trying
to make them sound overly philosophical or "hyping" them up. At the
same time, careful explanation of the concepts and details
(including the technical terminology) are given in a
nonmathematical language for the general reader. In particular,
emphasis is given to the specific aspects of quantum theory that
interface with gravity and cosmology, so as to keep the book
reasonably up to date and focused on a key underlying theme.
