Understanding Quantum: Volume 2 - The Universe Doesn't Make Any Sense (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781519240682)

This short, three volume series is authoritative yet FUN TO READ * without the need to figure out complicated ideas and mathematics.Do/did you (or your child) avoid learning physics because: * There's too much reading?* It's just too darn complicated?* There are all sorts of formulas to learn?* It has all those Latin and Greek words? These three short volumes are more like a history book or a detective novel - FUN TO READ* What kinds of questions were being asked "back then"?* Why were proposed answers strange to our modern ears?* Were any of their answers true?* What kinds of experiments did they use to help find answers?This series is fun for the beginner or any non-scientist - no complex formulas and math needed. In this short 3-part series we sneak up on the atom, time, quantum, and relativity: Volume 1 The Universe is Made Up of "Stuff" introduces the beginnings of scientific inquiry into the makeup of the "stuff" of our universe. By the start of the 20th Century scientists had begun to realize that they knew less about this "stuff" than they thought they did.Volume 2 The Universe Doesn't Make Any Sense introduces strange new ideas of matter and energy in Einstein's two Relativity theories, Heisenberg's notion that everything we can try to measure will always give us uncertain results, and that every solid thing we encounter is made up mostly of empty space.Volume 3 The Theory of Everything introduces some of the current ideas that seek to explain in one grand, complete explanation what matter and energy are. You'll also understand why we aren't there yet.AND, it's a great start for home schooling your child in the sciences.
