This book, The Quantum World by Kenneth W. Ford, had a subtitle: Quantum Physics for Everyone. Apparently it lives up to this phase… to a certain extent. If one had Physics 101 in university, one should have no problem understanding the material. One with high school physics, I am not too sure, but can give it a try. Yes, it is a popular science book, so no technical math required, but it still needs critical and abstract thoughts, plus interest in the subject, in order to finish it.
For familiar readers on this kind of books, this is a good all rounder that rounds up everything on the field of quantum physics… without too much of deep touch. A good summary book.
For people who haven’t read anything on this kind of books, of course, I truly recommend people, who considered themselves enthusiast of advance thoughts, to try to acquire the basic concepts of the following terms (from any source possible):-
- Probability wave (that is how particle exists)
- General relativity (some of the greatest thought human is capable of conceiving)
- The uncertainty principle (and try to learn that people are mis-using it in other fields all the time)
- Mass-energy equivalence (that famous equation)
- String (the rubber band)
Once you know all these advance concepts, you will start to appreciate how Fung Shui and Fortune Telling really works, haha.
