Description
How can a cat be both dead and alive at the same time? Why will Achilles never beat a tortoise in a race, no matter how fast he runs? And how can a person be ten years older than their twin? Throughout history, scientists have been coming up with theories and ideas that just do not seem to make sense. In this book, the author, a quantum physicist, examines nine notable scientific paradoxes and presents possible solutions for them.
