Heisenberg's theorem stated that there were physical limits to what we could know about sub-atomic particles; this \"uncertainty\" would have shocking implications. In a riveting and lively account, David Lindley captures this critical episode and explains one of the most important scientific discoveries in history, which has since transcended the boundaries of science and influenced everything from literary theory to television.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Lindley holds a Ph.D. in astrophysics from Sussex University and has been an editor at \u003ci\u003eNature\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScience\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eScience News\u003c\/i\u003e.
