Hello!

Today I bring you something a bit different!  As some of you know, I’m a bit of a fan of theoretical physics, including quantum mechanics and the like.  But quantum mechanics has always struck me as a bit unintuitive, confusing, and hard to define.  So I set about trying to imagine what it would be like to explore the quantum world without knowing anything about it!  Here’s a short short, told, as you can imagine, in true Seussian-style!

The following books made this project possible, and are great non-technical introductions to theoretical physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, string theory, and stuff like that!

Asimov, Issac. A Short History of Chemistry.
Barnett, Lincoln. The Universe and Dr. Einstein.
Greene, Brian. The Elegant Universe.
Hawking, Stephen. A Brief History of Time.
Steinhardt, Paul J., Neil Turok. Endless Universe.
