For years I got a glazed look in my eyes when one of my physicist
friends started talking about quantum mechanics ("Quantum mechanics?
Whaa ... aren't they guys who work for some Australian airline?"). Then
I got a copy of "The Cosmic Code" by Heinz Pagels from my local
library. It's the first explanation of quantum physics that made sense
to me, in large part because Pagels is an excellent writer. Check it
out.
