Quantum physics is the cornerstone of our world. Yet, at the same time, it’s one of the hardest subjects for ordinary mortals to grasp.

In Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics, a husband-and-wife duo – renowned physicist Frank Verstraete and writer Céline Broeckaert – demystifies the essential science behind how our world works. Together, they unravel the reasons the universe behaves in its weird ways – and just why it's so important to understand them.

In this book, you will discover:How symmetry governs the universeThe untold history of quantum physicsHow quantum principles power our gadgets and livesThe real essence behind quantum puzzles and discoveries
Part history and part popular science, Why Nobody Understands Quantum Physics serves as a bridge between the complex world of quantum physics and the curious mind.
