About this audiobook

Light, the nineteenth century's proven wave, arrives one whole packet at a time; electrons, everyone's proven particles, paint interference stripes one arrival at a time. Wave-particle duality is the discovery that neither classical word covers the smallest world, and this book tells it whole: Young's stripes and Einstein's photoelectric heresy; Compton's photon and de Broglie's reversal; the double slit run one electron at a time and its dot-by-dot stripes; Bohr's complementarity, the measurement problem, and decoherence; the which-way markers that kill the pattern with information alone, and the quantum eraser, explained without the folklore; single photons, lone molecules, the quantum-field dissolution, and the interpretations' honest scorecard.
