Quantum Physics:The Best-Tested Theory Nobody UnderstandsWhat Do I Know About This?Series 'In Twelve Evenings'Book 1A whole science in twelve eveningsWhy is a table solid if atoms are mostly empty? Why does the Sun shine? What happens to an electron in the double-slit experiment, and why can entanglement not send a message faster than light?Quantum Physics: The Best-Tested Theory Nobody Understands is a 12-lesson course for readers aged 15+ and adults who want to begin from first principles without heavy mathematics. From Planck and the atom, it moves through superposition, uncertainty, tunneling, and entanglement, then shows how quantum theory became lasers, transistors, MRI, quantum computers, and cryptography.Every lesson includes a clear explanation, the human story of a physicist, key terms, a 10-question test, and a simple home experiment or observation. The book closes with explained answers, a glossary, sources, and further reading and viewing. Quantum physics remains strange, but it no longer has to remain vague.
