Win! The Quantum Age by Brian Clegg
2 Dec 2014 by Evoluted New Media
We’ve had the Bronze Age, the Stone Age and the Iron Age, plus the birth of steam and electricity and new materials. Brian Clegg says we’re now living in the Quantum Age – a revolution led by our understanding of the very very small. Everything we do is based on quantum physics, says Clegg – technology like our smartphone depends on it. Weird quantum behaviour lies at the heart of every electronic device and quantum biology explain how we are able to see and how plants photosynthesise. Clegg marries our understanding of the quantum with the objects we encounter every day to help us see the world with a new sense of wonder, explaining the weird and wonderful world around us with his trademark clarity and enthusiasm.
