How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog

by Chad Orzel

How would you teach quantum physics to someone who thinks treats and belly rubs are the meaning of life?

How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog is hands-down one of the most delightful science books I’ve ever read. Chad Orzel has this genius way of taking the wild and weird world of quantum physics—think wave-particle duality and Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle—and explaining it through conversations with his dog, Emmy. Yes, a dog. Emmy’s relatable questions (mostly about chasing bunnies and catching squirrels) somehow make quantum physics easier to understand and way more fun. It’s clever, quirky, and full of those “aha!” moments that make you fall in love with science all over again. If you’ve ever wondered how the universe works on the tiniest scale—or just want a good laugh while you learn—this book is a must-read. Plus, Emmy might just be the smartest (and cutest) science assistant out there!
