… … The 100 years of the quantum revolution that began in Berlin in December 1900 are a precious historical experience for humanity that will be remembered as the most unique in the history of science.
In this book, author Kumar brilliantly recreates this historical experience, focusing on three key elements: physics, physicists, and the circumstances of the time.
Kumar's skill in "leaping" from the physical question of the existence of "reality" and the structure of the universe to the metaphysics is elegant.
This excellent book clearly and systematically summarizes the core of the 100-year development of the quantum revolution that spanned the 20th century, a century that was one of the most turbulent times in human history, including two world wars, yet also one that saw the greatest scientific advancements, with a remarkable level of restraint in language and content.
