'A physics book unlike any other. The scope, depth and artistry are breathtaking' - John Preskill, theoretical physicist and Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Caltech

Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world, offering a framework so expansive and precise that it underpins nearly every piece of modern technology. Yet, at the same time, it’s one of the hardest subjects to grasp.

In Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, a leading scientist and a literary mind unite to explain the revolutionary discoveries and astounding phenomena at the heart of quantum physics. From the greenness of grass to the solidity of matter, they unravel why the universe behaves in the peculiar ways it does and why it's so important.

The result is a groundbreaking journey into quantum physics that transforms our understanding of the universe and its boundless possibilities with clarity, wonder and humour.

'A delightful book for all those who do not speak the language of mathematics but are curious about the most beautiful of theories and their impact on our lives' - Barbara Terhal, theoretical physicist
