Tom

I would like to learn more about Quantum Physics. I am something of a novice when it comes to science but I'm not an idiot either. Can you recommend a book about Quantum Physics which is both entertaining and informative?

Many Thanks,
Sally.

Answer
A good one to start with is The Dancing Wu Li Masters. It's a pretty good book with no mathematics, and does a good job explaining the "weird" stuff in physics.

Are there any basic books on how to learn about quantum physics?

Dose anyone know any good basic easy books on quantum physics and time travel?
