Quantum theory is weird. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren't shocked by quantum theory, you didn't really understand it. For most people, quantum theory is synonymous with mysterious, impenetrable science. And in fact for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly written account of this fundamental scientific revolution, focusing on the central conflict between Einstein and Bohr over the nature of reality and the soul of science. This revelatory book takes a close look at the golden age of physics, the brilliant young minds at its core--and how an idea ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the twentieth century.

Shiny Small Sequin Blazer
Size: Small, Color: Black
This tuxedo blazer is one for the looks. It’s shiny black 100% polyester material, with a mesh net on the left side that has dark gold plastic sequins sewn on in a tree pattern. The material is taut with seams at the sides and the middle of the back. There is a single button. There are no pockets outside nor inside the jacket. The quality will hold up and is a decent value for the money. This was for a 5’5 male of slim build and fit quite snug. The measurement in inches: 17 - shoulders; 23 - sleeves; 27-1/2 nape to bottom of blazer.

Size a tad small
Size: Large, Color: Black
So many compliments so don’t buy this if you don’t like people to notice. I’d say fits a tad on the small side.
