About the Book

Special Limited Edition 1/1000, signed by Peter Saville, Art Director The Quantum Universe brings together two authors on a brilliantly ambitious mission to show that everyone can understand the deepest questions of science. But just what is quantum physics? How does it help us understand the world? Where does it leave Newton and Einstein? And why, above all, can we be sure that the theory is good? Here, Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw give us the real science, and reveal the profound theories that allow for concrete, yet astonishing, predictions about the world. This is our most up-to-date picture of reality. 'A thrilling voyage into the subatomic world' The Economist Books of the Year

He was awarded the Institute of Physics Maxwell Medal in 1999 for outstanding contributions to theoretical physics.

Review :
A scientific match made in heaven...as breezily a written accessible account of the theory of quantum mechanics as you could wish for - from the Planck constant to the Higgs particle and everything theoretically in between Mindblowing ... what is novel about this attempt is that the writers take an intellectual rather than a historical approach ... it is a surprisingly rich idea that allows the authors to avoid using too much mathematics [Cox and Forshaw] stand together at the cutting edge of their discipline ... despite their elevated status, both men remain tiggerishly excitable about their subject ... Cox and Forshaw's book is a carefully guided tour through this quantum world ... popularize[s] without dumbing down A thrilling voyage into the subatomic world With brightness and gusto, the opening chapters deal with the culture shock that thinking about the sub-atomic world entails ...They are good at drawing connections between seemingly esoteric theory and everyday practicalities The rock star of science... In Quantum Universe they do a great job of bringing a difficult subject to life Breaks the rules of popular science writing...admirably shies away from dumbing down...the authors' love for their subject-matter shines through the book Admirably, Cox and Forshaw...treat topics that do not usually show up in popular books...readers will enjoy this engaging, ambitious and creative tour of our quantum universe By explaining theories about the world, Cox and Forshaw show that the workings of the universe can be understood by us all
