Am intersted in knowing if anyone has read this book, and if it is a reasonable introduction to quantum physics for someone just learning? Is it reasonable factual for what we know now?:confused:

Ian Stewart's mathematical supremacy speaks for itself.

Hawkings' "A Brief History of Time" is a better introduction to current scientific theories.

Is Flatterland actually concerned with quantum physics?

Yup, it is. It put a lot of concepts into a story in laymans terms.

Might be worth a read, then...

I'm currently reading (or trying to find time to read) Where does the weirdness go? by David Lindley. It seems to be a readable and straightforward popular discussion of quantum mechanics.

I know it may not be as "advanced" as Hawking but I have been reading the ELegant Universe by Brain Greene and it's very good at staying interesting and being easy to follow. I haven't heard of this book but I might look it up.

A sequel to Flatland (http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/flatland/)? Neat!

Is is a sequel to flatland. Didnt think flatland was still around, will have to look for it.

It's around online. I think the copyright's expired.
