Description
Does your child ask questions you can't answer -- about atoms, light, or how the universe really works?
Step into the hidden world beneath the one we see every day, where energy comes in tiny packets, electrons act like waves, and the rules that govern everything from your phone screen to the sun itself get very, very strange.
Here's a glimpse of what your child will discover:
• Why a glowing piece of metal nearly broke physics -- and how a reluctant scientist named Planck accidentally launched a revolution
• The real reason Einstein won his Nobel Prize (hint: it wasn't relativity)
• How electrons "choose" where to be -- and why we can never know everything about them at once
• Why Schrödinger's famous cat was actually a joke meant to show how weird quantum physics really is
• How the same science that baffled geniuses 100 years ago now powers every LED, laser, and solar panel on Earth
Written by a physicist who taught at the U.S. Naval Academy, this book follows one rule: if you can't explain it to a kid, you don't truly understand it. No dumbed-down cartoons. No hand-waving. Just the real ideas -- made clear, fun, and unforgettable.
Each chapter includes key terms explained simply, plus thought-provoking questions that spark real conversation -- perfect for curious kids who want to understand, not just memorize.
Perfect for young readers aged 8-12 who are fascinated by science, love asking "why," and are ready to see the universe the way physicists actually see it.
Parents: this is the book for the child who wonders what things are made of, why the sky is blue, and whether atoms are really mostly empty space. Whether it's a rainy-day read or a gift for a future scientist, Quantum Physics for Kids will turn curiosity into real understanding.
Includes free interactive quantum experiments!
The scientists who discovered this strange new world didn't have all the answers. They just refused to stop asking questions. This book teaches your child to do the same.
