اگر یک قطره را دل بر شکافی
برون آید از آن صد بحر صافی

" شیخ محمود شبستری "

آره؛ چیزایی که عُرَفا و شاعرا و صوفیای قرون قدیممون فَمیدن، حالا از زبون انیشتین و مارتین پاسکال و پن‌رز و جان ویلر و ریچارد فاینمن و اینا و با نگاه علمی، تعریف می‌کنن. نویسنده می‌گه وختشه که حصار روانشناسی و فیزیک رو بشکنیم.. ولی حقیقتش، باید دیوار بین همه‌ی علوم رو فرو بریزیم و دنیا رو همون‌جوری که می‌بینیم، بشناسیم. همون‌جوری که می‌فهمیم.

I have no idea how accurate this little book is, as it's quite a few years old now, but I found it a lucid and thought-provoking introduction to quantum physics. Bob Toben's cartoons and captions provide a great visual basis for further quantum physics study, and while their concepts may be a little oversimplified for artistic purposes, each image corresponds to at least one, and sometimes several, explanatory notes. There, Fred Alan Wolfe, Ph.D. draws out some of the more essential points of quantum theory, clearly and concisely outlining the concepts without bogging down in miles---or light years---of scientific detail.

Quantum Physics explained, simply. Gripping and wonderfully done. The cartoony drawings shouldn't be underestimated as the concepts are sometimes so vast and yet so simply explained that your read through it and then go "Oh!"
I highly recommend finding and enjoying this book.

girl..... you got some BOMB A$$ _____!

this book has very simplified, compact explanations of very gnarly expansive thought producing hypothesis in physics. It's a good book to read in bits and process and conversate about afterward with your cat! 😺 TRUST!

Well, this was food for thought.
Space-time and beyond: toward an explanation of the unexplainable is this short, adorable book, full of drawings that have a style very similar to my Physics teacher's, in which a lot, and I mean a huge lot of information is presented in a more accessible way to the public. Or as accessibly as Quantum Physics can be - but no, it's not only about Quantum Physics... It is mentioned multiple times, though.
The book is very likely outdated, since it was written in the 80's, but it made me realise that discoveries I though were new have actually been around for a long while. I also got to know a handful of theories - most of which I feel I won't remember, some of which were rather hard to understand - that made me think, question and even helped me step forward in some of my searches for answers.
I feel I could have learned a lot more, but I definitely enjoyed reading Space-time and beyond.

کتاب ِجمع و جوری که تلاش کرده با توضیحات ساده و استفاده از نقاشی و شکل‌های مرتبط، مفاهیم مشکل و پیچیده‌ی متافیزیک‌رو برای خواننده توضیح بده. من این کتاب رو چندین و چند بار خوندم و هر بار جالب و آموزنده بوده برام...

[D Steven Ledingham]

Great book about quantum physics before anybody knew there was such a thing. Outstanding presentation in comic book form.

[Iman ASK]

کتاب خیلی کوتاهیه ولی من ک خیلی چیز زیادی ازش نصیبم نشد اما بازم بدک نبود
گویا نبود کتاب مخصوصا ک هی باید ب آخر کتاب مراجعه کنی و اکثر مباحثش کلی گویی شده

[Camilasc]

Exactly what I thought it would be.

[Shahrzad Karbasi]

متنش سخته چون مطالب سنگینه. ولی به صورت عمومی دید خوبی از آنچه بهش ماورا می گیم بهمون می ده... قشنگ بود اگه کسی علاقمند به کلیت موضوع باشه بهش پیشنهاد می کنم بخونه حتما.

Fun book. Great story connected to the hippies that saved physics. Jack Sarfetti is an interesting character

Loved this line.

دنبال یادگیری فیزیک مدرن اید اما حال و حوصله ی ریاضیات پیچیده را ندارید؟ این کتاب تلاشی برای آشنایی مخاطب با فیزیک مدرن و رابطه اش با متافیزیک است. به شخصه همه ی نظرات بیان شده در این کتاب را درست نمی دانم اما خب تلاشی خوب در این زمینه است

ANYONE INTERESTED IN METAPHYSICS- READ THIS BOOK!!!

SO many thing have clicked inside my being from even reading the first 3 pages.
I understand the phenomena that I couldn't explain before...

Evolution through and beyond time-space.

"We're less limited than we realize", but without any of that new-age feel goodery that makes me want to hurl. Love it.

Best ever book for simple, fun and expert explanations/illustrations of the quantum, multi-universes, transformational consciousness, and space-time. Thanks Toben, Sarfatti, Wolf and Suares!
