Science / Re: Quantum Mechanincs - a good book?

that's a good idea, I just looked on youTube and found a couple lectures that I'll watch tommorow. It is annoyingly hard to find something intermediate on this subject, but it is the most interesting aspect of physics in my opinion.

Thanks a lot, Rochir, I was considering the book by Rae, and videos are generally very simple and short in my opinion

Seems like Resnick and Halliday are the authors, what is the actual title because there's quite a few

You'd be surprised. :D

Well, I've read Hawkings' "Brief History of Time", that has a chapter on QM  and a few other paragraphs. That was 'beginner'. But it mainly concentrated on theories on the large scale(macro, I belive) like the universe and stuff. I am looping forn something that will talk about the really small scale(QM). Just something that will more thoroughly explain QM and its concepts like the uncertainty rule, wave/particle dualism, quantum fluctuations, the strong and weak nuclear forces, the standard model etc.

But not really advanced. I know some of the stuff but not the maths, that's the bit I'd like to get a taster of.

Do any of you know any good books for a beginner to learn about Quantum Physics?

By beginner I mean that the book wouldn't be too hard to understand but not like some books w
hich contain no equations. I've kinda had enough of books that don't show at least a bit of the maths behind it all. But then again nothing on the level of a uni degree student, I'm 15. Anything you guys might might know?

Science / Re: Evolution of today
« on: July 22, 2012, 11:45:02 am »
Well, evolution for us has kinda stopped. Because we have no factors to determine who the "strongest" is. Our species dominates the world, and there is no other species that may pose a threat to us and cause natural selection. What would happen normally is that animals that have a certain characteristic eg. Animals with longer legs, survive in face of a threat eg. high rain levels so short legged ones die and the long legged ones pass on their genetic information, and the species evolves.

We have technology which gives us artificial advantages in face of a plenty of threats, so there are no factor for natural selection.
