Schrodinger's Kittens and the serach for Reality

John Cribbin explores the strange quantum world in a way that makes you feel you might just be able to understand it. At any rate you will enjoy the stories and explanations.

The kittens of the title are the metaphorical offspring of the famous though experimental cat who is both alive and dead at the same time. The book outlines some of the possibilities opened up by the consequences of the science - and how some of them have turned out to be true.
