Publisher's Summary
"Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it."
Since Niels Bohr said this many years ago, quantum mechanics has only been getting more shocking. We now realize that it's not really telling us that "weird" things happen out of sight, on the tiniest level, in the atomic world: Rather, everything is quantum. But if quantum mechanics is correct, what seems obvious and right in our everyday world is built on foundations that don't seem obvious or right at all - or even possible.
An exhilarating tour of the contemporary quantum landscape, Beyond Weird is a book about what quantum physics really means - and what it doesn't. Science writer Philip Ball offers an up-to-date, accessible account of the quest to come to grips with the most fundamental theory of physical reality, and to explain how its counterintuitive principles underpin the world we experience.

Worst narration ever
I found the content interesting and insightful. Unfortunately due to the monotone, flat narration I was unable to make it past the 5 hour mark. I thought I could get used to it but alas not. The only book I did not finish as a result of very poor narrator performance.

Great book
Easy listening, well preformed and a great perspective on the quantum world. Well worth the read.

Poor performance
This performance has the cadence of an infomercial or an overly enthusiastic children’s TV host: exAGGerated EMphasis reGARDless of MEANing. I only made it through a few minutes, so can’t comment on the content. Hardly the right approach for a book about physics. Let me recommend instead, The Elegant Universe, read by the author, Brian Greene, who understands what he is saying and sounds it.
