Quantum Physics studies the extremely small aspects of our
universe. Throughout the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries, a plethora of discoveries has been announced from
quantum physicists. Scholarly books accessible to the public on quantum physics
are rare, though Kenneth
W. Ford created an accessible
quantum physicists books, 101 Quantum Questions published by Harvard University Press. Dr. Ford retired as the director of the American Institute of Physics in 1993 and has
worked at several universities in the United States including: Indiana University, University of Massachusetts at Boston, University of California, Irvine, Brandeis University, and was President at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.
Ford was educated at some of the best universities in the world by obtaining
his A.B from Harvard University and his
PhD from Princeton University.
Dr. Ford illustrates the complicated nature of Quantum
Physics by setting up his book in question form, as seen in the title. Each
aspect of Quantum Physics is isolated with its own question to help illustrate
the complex and exciting particle world. Ford’s writing style guides the book
along nicely with an even balance of science and history of each section of
Quantum Physics.
