"This is perhaps one of the best science books I have read and I've read tons of them. The whole point of Schrodinger's cat is to put the misinterpretation of quantum physics to shame. Of course the paradox is impossible and that is the point. Still, it didn't stop the new age fanatics from their mystical thinking. They took the paradox literally and formed a cult from the impossible.
I respect the author because he put perspective on the ridiculousness of quantum mechanics as experienced by our limited senses. Gribbin admits that there is another factor which we are unaware of; a factor that would take us away from the nonsense and tie the macro and micro worlds together into one connection. Still accepting the scientific experience of quantum physics, Gribbin keeps reality in sight by focusing on the inevitable; that we have not learned the entire story. Flipping in and out of realities according to consciousness and observation is a fairy tale. Schrodinger's Cat displays that truth with fervor.
"Book worth reading if you've ever wondered what quantum reality and string theory is all about. It's not too technical in terms of physics. If you like philosophy you would probably like this book. It opened up the world of quantum physics to me and got me to think a bit differently about what reality is."

"Physics was never my thing at school. Well, technically maths was never my thing, but one is kinda essential for the other. This book, however, was the first time I was really introduced to the notion of physics as philosophy, and it's shaped an awful lot of my own writing ever since. It's a fascinating subject, and a very accessible work for the layman."
