What Hacker News says
- As a physics layman, I learned his part of history from the book "Quantum" by Manjit Kumar, which as far as I can tell got the Planck bit right and covered his black body work correctly, FWIW.
It was a good read.
- Quantum by Manjit Kumar is my favorite. It is a novel like walkthrough of quantum development over the years.
- Hi. Could you please name the author. Is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Einstein-Debate-Nature-Realit... Thanks.
