Description

A very enjoyable exploration of the science of quantum mechanics made clear to see by means of pop-culture. Being a small science-fiction enthusiast, physicist James Kakalios marveled in the potential expected in the pulp comics, magazines, and movies of the '60s and '50s. By 2010, he was certain we would have flying cars and jetpacks. But what we were left with-laptops, MRI devices, Blu-ray people, and a large number of different true-life marvels-are much more wonderful.
