The Infamous Boundary: Seven Decades of Heresy in Quantum Physics Paperback - 1996
by Appendix by W. Faris; David Wick
The gulf between the quantum world and the classical one is a great mystery of physics. This is an extraordinarily lively account of quantum theory debate, mainly told from the side of the heretics--Einstein, David Bohm, J.S. Bell, and others. The book explores the philosophical and physical implications, as well as personalities involved--a compelling history of the strange side of quantum physics.
First line
Now that a visitor to a physics laboratory can be shown a solitary barium ion glowing like a tiny star caught in a bottle, skepticism about the existence of atoms seems as quaint and remote from our time as belief in a flat Earth.
