With great humor and clarity, physics professor Chad Orzel explains to his cherished mutt Emmy, and to human readers, just what quantum mechanics is and how it works—and why, although you can’t use it to catch squirrels or eat steak, it’s still bizarre, amazing, and important to every dog and human. Follow along as Chad and Emmy discuss the central elements of quantum theory, from particles that behave like waves and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle to entanglement (“spooky action at a distance”) and virtual particles. Along the way, they discuss the history of the theory, such as the experiments that discovered that electrons are waves and particles at the same time, and Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr’s decades-long debate over what quantum theory really meant.
Lighthearted, fast-moving, and fun, How to Teach Physics to Your Dog will make readers laugh—and learn—and better understand the world around them.
“Explains quantum physics in a way that’s so simple to understand, even a dog can learn it.”
—Associated Press
