Physics. Physics. Science and it wonders. Science and Physics. Quantum Physics Books - books about quantum physics - list of quantum physics books. Quantum physics is one of the most complex concepts in modern physics and a number of books have come out in an effort to explain these quantum concepts to the general public. Here are some of them. 1. The Quantum Universe by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw In The Quantum Universe (And Why Anything That Can Happen, Does), physicists Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw explore the way quantum physics manifests at the most basic level to create the world of our everyday experience ... using rules that completely violate the intuitions that come from that experience.

This book is a little more mathematically intimidating than some other books for lay audiences, but it doesn't include anything that goes really beyond high school algebra and geometry. If you want to really understand the important role quantum physics plays in our universe, this really is one of the best books you can begin with. 2. Oxford University Press 4.

Time and the Nature of Reality By ZEEYA MERALI We recently ran an article (courtesy of Nautilus Magazine) in which physicist Paul Davies ran through some open questions about the nature of time. I want to alert you to another discussion currently taking place on the Big Questions Online...
