Time to Get Over the Weird: A Different Look at Quantum Physics
“Quantum mechanics may seem 'weird' but it is not unreasonable. Only a new and unfamiliar logic is at work. “If you can grasp it, that is, if you can accept that this is how quantum mechanics works, then the quantum world ceases to seem strange and becomes a completely different place with its different traditions and customs and its own beautiful internal consistency.”
Unlike quantum narratives full of analogies, metaphors and images, Time to Transcend the Strange does not tell us why the quantum world, which shakes our preconceptions about the here and now, messes with space and time, that we cannot express, and disregards our logic, is "strange", but why our world is not like it.
By discussing how quantum theory works, how it creates clichés and misinterpretations, the counter-intuitive principles of the world we experience, why and how it pushes the boundaries of our relationships with reality, knowledge and language, it shows why some of the things we have known so far with this theory are no longer valid.
Ball's extremely easy-to-understand text shows in full detail how the foundations of quantum mechanics are treated in theory today. I can easily say that Time to Get Over the Weird is the best book I've read in this field.
