:) The thing I really liked about this book is that Orzel actually goes into detail about how the experiments were designed that proved various aspects of quantum theory. : the quantum Zeno effect, Spooky barking at a distance : quantum entanglement, Bunnies made of cheese : virtual particles and quantum electrodynamics. I learned quite a lot from the stories and explanation and can recommend this to anyone with a popular scientific interest in (quantum) physics. Other than that, the further you dig, the more it starts to become annoying. If you wait long enough, particles are generated spontaneously.". I finished it and it was really good. This fundamental uncertainty is a consequence of the dual … I found myself cringing towards the end of the book as more and more dogs and rabbits made of cheese appeared. Thanks a lot, Chad." Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. Physics is var interesting, but damn, so difficult! --John Scalzi, author of Old Man's War and The Rough Guide to the Universe. Whilst I tried to read this book sequentially, absorbing every snippet of information I could, but I couldn't. Don't get caught looking less informed than Emmy. But, dammit, we got through the whole book, and Vinka is still asking me why you can't know both the momentum. Welcome back. A superb insight into the basics of quantum physics and a great jumping off point for the topic to be explored. Other than that, the further you dig, the more it starts to become annoying. “Dogs come to quantum physics in a better position than most humans. I've never read a popular physics book that didn't just skip over that part, and it made some of the concepts a lot easier to understand. That is simply because quantum physics can't be taught on a macro level, therefore the examples given start to interfere with further understanding. It was an enjoyable and educational reading. This was the same gravity, surely, that kept the moon in place, so what stopped m. We are all taught the basics of Newtonian physics at school, of gravity, force, mass and acceleration. Be the first to ask a question about How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog. Generally, I found the dog conversations quite annoying and strange (my dog is usually just sick everywhere), but they maybe made things slightly easier to comprehend. This was the same gravity, surely, that kept the moon in place, so what stopped matter flying apart on a regular basis? For me, there is something about the study of how the universe is put together that grabs my brain and won't let it go. When physics professor Chad Orzel went to the pound to adopt a dog, he never imagined Emmy: not just a friendly mutt, but a talking dog with an active interest in what her new owner did for a living and how it could work for her. Start by marking “How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog” as Want to Read: Error rating book. "I’ve long believed that everyone should be familiar with the wonders of quantum mechanics. --Tobias Buckell, author of HALO: The Cole Protocol, "Orzel's whimsical take on quantum physics is a delight, and Emmy is the perfect Everyman, posing the questions we'd all like to ask about the intricacies of this most esoteric of subjects." Particle-wave duality. --William D. Phillips, 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics. Definitely worth a go. How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is published by Scribner can be ordered from Amazon.com, IndieBound, Barnes and Noble, and Powell's. How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is a blessing for all those who never mastered – or maybe even had the faintest glimmer about – modern physics. Beware of evil squirrels : misuses of quantum physics. Books, How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, Videos. Beam me a bunny : quantum teleportation; Bunnies made of cheese : virtual particles and quantum electrodynamics; Beware of evil squirrels : misuses of quantum physics. And Emmy is a star." Could she use quantum tunnelling to get through the neighbour's fence and chase bunnies? How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog by Chad OrzelHow to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog has 1,669 ratings and 161 reviews.. Mark Hebwood said: WARNINGIf you kindly devote some of your time to reading.The Book: How to Teach Physics to Your DogHow to Teach Physics to Your Dog is a book that explains quantum mechanics in terms that even a dog can understand-- in fact, the dog … Initially, this book really made me excited as I finally immersed into quantum physics as it always looked so fascinating. From quarks and gluons to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, this is the perfect introduction to the fundamental laws which govern the universe. When Quantum Physics expert Dr Chad Orzel went to adopt a dog he never imagined he would end up with one as inquisitive as Emmy. Video: Canine Zeno … There is something beautiful in how everything is connected and by studying this interaction we learn just how similar everything truly is. What about quantum teleportation to catch squirrels before they climb out of reach? Summary Who better to teach the magic of quantum physics than a talking dog? “Forget Schrödinger’s Cat,” says Emmy, “Quantum physics is all about dogs.” And once you see quantum physics explained to a dog, you’ll never see the world the same way again. The book grew out of a couple of posts on Uncertain Principles, Chad's physics-oriented weblog. The concept is simple: Chad Orzel’s dog, Emmy, may be a typical mutt obsessed with walks, squirrels and discarded food, but she’s also intelligent enough to have a basic grasp of quantum concepts, and a view to how they might be exploited in her favour, for example by passing simultaneously around both sides of a tree to catch a squirrel.
