In Search of Schrodinger's Cat was one of very few popular science books published in the early 1980s on the subject of quantum mechanics. The title of the book refers to a famous thought experiment (paradox) devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrodinger. The thought experiment presents a hypothetical cat that apparently can be simultaneously dead and alive (or neither dead nor alive), depending on an earlier random event, and assuming that the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics can be applied to everyday objects.
For those of us who are not physicists, the book covers, in a rather accessible manner (especially in its first half), a number of key theories, ideas, and paradoxes such as the dual nature of light, the double-slit experiment, the structure and the inner workings of atoms, Plank's constant and its history and significance, the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics and its possible far-reaching philosophical implications, the Compton effect, the Copenhagen interpretation, etc. Often incorrectly depicted as just an experimental limitation, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle (the central idea of quantum mechanics), is explained quite nicely (and I believe correctly) in this book. The author also gives a couple of great examples of the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in physics (e.g., Dirac's mathematical prediction of the existence of positrons, the electron's antiparticle).








Download Tips

No doubt, information is the highway to greatness in life. In a bide to obtain such information one is forced to get it whenever it appears online. One is please and satisfy with the rate of such information transfer if it is very fast. But the reverse is case when the data transfer ( i.e. bits or bytes per second ) is very slow. One is bound to waste time to be used for other demanding issues on a slow data transfer. But you can get out of this mess and speed up the rate of data transfer of your computer by applying the tips in this article.

Change or upgrade your connection. Your internet service provider render service according to your subscription. There is a limit speed associated with each connection. So, go for subscription that meet up with your need. If you are using dial-up connection, make use of Broadband connection for faster speed output. The broadband has Direct Service Line ( DSL) or a cable connection to be chosen for maximum performance.
