Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A great layman's introduction to quantum theory,with a twist. Easy to read and well communicated.The author, a high school student, has written an engaging survey of quantum weirdness. He doesn't get into a lot of math in the main text but there is an appendix for physicists,with plenty of math. The author's major achievement is a discussion of his own theoretical contribution. I am not a mathematician, but what he does is incorporate imaginary numbers into quantum theory in a way that has not been done before. The mathematics of his theory is laid out in the appendix for physicists and is beyond my level of understanding- leads to a unique approach to the " many worlds" interpretation of quantum theory.He riffs on Carl Sagan's " star ship of the imagination" to take the reader on a journey through some of these parallel universes where the laws of physics are different from those of our own world.All in all the book is a fun and fascinating read, I suspect that this young author will have more contributions to make in physics, math and cosmology soon.
