Historia
The discovery of the quantum - the idea, born in the early 1900s in a remote corner of physics, that energy comes in finite packets instead of infinitely divisible quantities - planted a rich set of metaphors in the popular imagination. Quantum imagery and language now bombard us like an endless stream of photons. Phrases such as multiverse, quantum leap, alternate universe, the uncertainty principle, and Schrödinger's cat get reinvented continually in cartoons and movies, coffee mugs and T-shirts, and fiction and philosophy.

Good enough introduction and general overview

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
this was my very first audio book purchase and i couldn't have picked a better tittlei have been going over the topic of quantum mechanics and sub particle physics for quite sometimes with multiple readings here and there.although this book was not a deep plunge into the nitty and gritty but it was a very insightful introduction to the ideas or the basics of quantum mechanics.the authors painted a picture for the reader and eased them into the story, allowing a better understanding of the principles.
i liked the way he segwayed from the traditional(Newtonian) way that we see the world and presented it in the quantum realm where everything is counter intuitive.Really enjoyed this book and i would definitely recommend it to anyone new to this topic.
Would you be willing to try another book from Robert P. Crease and Alfred Scharff Goldhaber ? Why or why not?
the authors used various real world examples from their own lectures to pop culture to shed light on the topic presented in the book, the story and the rhythm of the book was very fluent which made a very good read, it tended to get a bit redundant at time but would definitely check out other books by the authors
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Spot-on
Did The Quantum Moment inspire you to do anything?
Go further into Quantum mechanics
Any additional comments?
Good book, very insightful
