Nel dicembre 1900 nella fisica classica c'era un posto per ogni cosa e quasi ogni cosa era al suo posto. Poi Max Planck, durante un esperimento sui filamenti delle lampadine, si imbatté nel quanto, e tutto cambiò. Lo scienziato tedesco fu costretto ad ammettere che l'energia della luce e di tutte le altre forme di radiazione elettromagnetica può essere emessa e assorbita dalla materia soltanto in frammenti, «confe...

Zonder de kwantumtheorie had de wereld zoals deze er nu uitziet nooit bestaan: computers en televisies zouden bijvoorbeeld niet werken. Kwantum is het eerste boek dat de dramatische geschiedenis van de kwantumtheorie - en daarmee het grootste intellectuele debat van de twintigste eeuw - voor een breed publiek beschrijft. Centraal in Kwantum staat de discussie tussen Niels Bohr en Albert Einstein, die in 1927 in alle hevigheid ontbrandde. Bohr ...

Tells the story of the dramatic history of Quantum Theory.

Per molti "teoria quantistica" è sinonimo di scienza misteriosa, accessibile a pochi iniziati. Manjit Kumar propone un'avvincente storia di questa fondamentale rivoluzione scientifica che inaugurò l'età dell'oro della fisica e innescò il più grande dibattito intellettuale del ventesimo secolo. Se l'ipotesi avanzata nel 1905 da Einstein, in base alla quale la luce era da considerare una particella e non un'onda, fu capace di mettere in discussi...

The dramatic story of one of the most important and challenging scientific theories of the twentieth century, set in the context of the great social and economic upheavals of the period. Kumar's powerful history shows how a small band of young, mostly German scientists developed a theory which baffled fellow scientists and ignited one of the most ferocious intellectual debates of the century. Popular science.

A lucid account of quantum theory (and why you should care) combined with a gripping narrative. San Francisco Chronicle

The contours of insurance business have been changing across the globe and the rippling effect of the same can be observed in the Indian market as well. The insurance industry of India has started to reveal the potential after the process of reforms were started. The changing insurance industry dynamics present many opportunities for insurers, but capturing these opportunities requires a well-defined and proactive business response. An attempt...

Quántum nos presenta la historia del conflicto entre dos de los intelectos más poderosos de su época, el famosísimo Einstein y el menos conocido ¿pero no por ello menos brillante¿ danés Niels Bohr. Se trata de un relato exhaustivo y brillante de varias décadas de descubrimientos y debates emocionalmente muy cargados y de amistades y rivalidades que sobrevivieron a las dos guerras mundiales. Un libro que trasciende los géneros histórico, cientí...

The liberalization and globalization of Indian economy brought substantial changes in the level of competition, business environment, managing strategies and advanced technology front. The transformed banking sector is also one of the important player of the Indian growth story. In an era of rapid change, the necessity of effectively executing strategy has become crucial. With this background, it is interesting to see how the banks have perfor...

Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written account of this fundamental scientific revolution, focusing on the cent...

In 1905 Albert Einstein suggested that light was a particle, not a wave, defying two hundred years of experiments. Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and Erwin Schrödinger's infamous dead-or-alive cat are similarly strange. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it. In 1925 the quantum pioneers nearly all hailed from upper-middle-class academic families, most were German, and their ave...
