In a new four-part series John Gribbin explores the weird subatomic world of quantum mechanics and will be asking listeners to abandon all the familiar ways of picturing the world and to suspend belief. Reader Paul Birchard. 1: A Measure of Uncertainty
The events surrounding the disturbing realisation that matter can be both wave and particle, and the story of how the discovery of quanta spawned the greatest ever scientific revolution.
John Gribbin introduces the key characters in a tale about a hapless cat that can be both dead and alive at the same time and, as Richard Feynman remarked, "If you don't take it too seriously you will discover nature to be a delightful and entrancing thing."
