Manjit Kumar discusses his book, Quantum,pitched at the general reader. A dramatic and superbly-written history of this fundamental scientific revolution and the divisive debate at its core.

Quantum Theory looks at the very building blocks of our world, the particles and processes without which it could not exist.Yet for 60 years most physicists believed that Quantum Theory denied the very existence of reality itself.
