Quantum to Human

Designed for the non-expert reader Quantum to Human, takes you from the very foundations of space and time, through the changes of 13 billion years, to humans and their society. It does so without resorting to weird concepts - no wavicles, superpositions or spacetime curvature - and always within the envelope of modern mathematical physics and biology. The book uses no complex maths other than simple arithmetic.

Quantum to Human shows that the universe was simple before it became complex. Here you will find out how matter was created, and why it gravity, you will be able to prove time dilation yourself, show ‘entanglement’ in your kitchen, find out what exactly sex is for and much more. But the surprise is that simplicity suggests solutions to some of the puzzles that have haunted science for decades.

Quantum to Human follows a long-standing scientific tradition: questioning assumptions, not to reject existing results, but to clarify the structures. Its evolution, through mistakes, revisions and insights, has resulted in an explanation of how simple space and waves led to the beauty, fascination and excitement of the world and universe we see around us. This is an explanation that is easy to understand and, as a result, makes simple sense of a complex universe
