Description: About this productProduct InformationThe more science tells us about the world, the stranger it looks. When physics penetrated the atom early in this century, and gave us startling theories of what was going on in there, we found ourselves in a new world, the world of quantum mechanics, and what a shaky place it was.Product IdentifiersPublisherHarvard University PressISBN-100674741129ISBN-139780674741126eBay Product ID (ePID)510297Product Key FeaturesBook TitleQuantum Mechanics and ExperienceAuthorDavid Z.
