{"product_id":"weird-scientists-the-creators-jeffrey-strickland-9781257976249","title":"Weird Scientists - The Creators of Quantum Physics","description":"Weird Scientists is a sequel to Men of Manhattan. As I wrote the latter about the nuclear physicists who brought in the era of nuclear power, quantum mechanics (or quantum physics) was unavoidable. Many of the contributors to the science of splitting the atom were also contributors to quantum mechanics. Atomic physics, particle physics, quantum physics, and even relativity are all interrelated. This book is about the men and women who established the science that shook the foundations of classical physics, removed determinism from measurement, and created alternative worlds of reality. The book introduces fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, roughly in the order they were discovered, as a launching point for describing the scientist and the work that brought forth the concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Strickland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1257976249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781257976249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.44d","brand":"Jeffrey Strickland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44122355794175,"sku":"9781257976249","price":54.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df0c47a5-994f-43bb-a0a8-222fb1ee81d5.jpg?v=1687424644","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weird-scientists-the-creators-jeffrey-strickland-9781257976249","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
