Without quantum physics, your breakfast – and so many other things we take for granted – wouldn’t be possible… international bestselling author and physicist Chad Orzel shows us why
‘[A] fine example of scientific passion.’
‘Informative and friendly.’
‘Physics is everywhere and in everything, and no one explains physics better than Chad Orzel. This book is a meal for your mind.’
‘Orzel is the perfect guide to the world of atoms and photons, demonstrating that even our morning breakfast rituals are not possible without the wonders of modern physics.’
‘As Chad Orzel wonderfully shows in Breakfast with Einstein, a full gamut of our commonplace daily activities – from boiling water [on the stove]…to taking and exchanging photos with our electronic cameras and phones – depends on quantum rules… A must-read for anyone fascinated with how the quantum revolution explains how things work.’
Chad Orzel is an associate professor at the department of physics and astronomy at Union College. He has written for Forbes, Daily Mail and Physics World, and has spoken at numerous TED talks. His previous books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. He lives in Niskayuna, New York.
