DESCRIPTION:
But it should be required reading for those eager to understand how the process of scientific discovery really works" New Scientist "Gribbin is an established master in the game of demystifying quantum mechanics" -- Jim Al-Khalili "The master of popular science writing" The Sunday Times . "A fascinating tale of scientific endeavour Gribbin expertly elucidates the relationships and discoveries that shaped Schrodinger's thoughts, including his lengthy correspondence with Albert Einstein, which led to the famous cat-in-the-box thought experiment Anyone wishing to dip their feet in the muddy waters of quantum physics wi
Applause for this worthwhile method of tackling a biography Erwin Schrodinger and the Quantum Revolutionby John GribbinErwin Schrodinger was a brilliant and colorful physicist famous for his contribution to quantum mechanics, winning the Noble Prize in 1933 for his discovery of wave mechanics.John Gribbin's has written a biography with a human touch. More than that, the book giv. "Very good popular bio" according to Luca turin. Engaging, earnest, and well-researched book written without an ounce of pomposity. Schrodinger comes across as a likeable rogue, sex maniac and borderline child molester of genius, obsessed with getting a pension. His bigamous happiness in supposedly religious Ireland is a joy to read about, and his tragic lapse of judg. non-technical history of quantum mechanics detailed through Schrodinger's biography A. Menon Erwin Schrodinger and the Quantum Revolution serves a few purposes for the interested reader. It details his personal history starting with family background as well as gives a history of quantum theory's evolution, both its physics and philosophy. The biography is fairly detailed and specific and goes into issues that
Regardless, Schrödinger's masterpiece became an important part of the new physics of his time. More rumpled than Einstein, a devotee of eastern religion and philosophy, and infamous for his alternative lifestyle, his major contribution to physics—and the work for which he received the Nobel Prize in 1933—was to some extent a disappointment to him. A lively, fascinating biography of the father of quantum mechanics by the bestselling author of the science classic, In Search of Schrödinger's CatErwin Schrödinger, best known for his famous “Schrödinger's Cat” paradox, is one of the most famous physicists of the early twentieth century and a member of a new generation of quantum physicists, including Werner Heisenberg, Paul Dirac, and Niels Bohr. Yet Schrödinger's scientific discoveries only scratch the surface of what makes him so fascinating. This book tells the story of Schrödinger's surprisingly colorful life during one of the most fertile and creative moments in the history of science.The first accessible, in-depth biography of the Nobel
