Synopsis

Science is so f*cking rad. We don't deserve it.

What actually is quantum physics? If you can answer that questions without bullsh*tting the person standing next to you in the bookstore, you can stop listening right now. But although most of us don't actually understand quantum physics, and if we understood it we'd probably be rich and beautiful and happy, right? After all, there are plenty of people out there trying to sell you quantum crystals to align your quantum energy with your quantum destiny. Can they all be wrong?

Spoiler: yes. Yes, they can. There is no such thing as quantum crystals. Sorry!

Luckily, as pseudo-science takes over the internet and it's getting harder and harder to separate alternative facts from real science, Chris Ferrie (an actual quantum physicist!) is here to explain quantum physics in a way that makes sense, so you can see the hucksters and bullsh*tters coming from a mile away—and school them in what quantum entanglement actually is (it has nothing to do with your romantic life). If you f*cking love science and want to be slightly less dumb than you were when you woke up this morning, Quantum Bullsh*t is the truly out-of-this-world book for you.

There is a lot of fluff stuff out there, alluding to some connection with ‘Quantum Physics’. This book purports to debunk attempts to largely hoodwink the general public by adding ‘Quantum’ to anything and everything such as ‘Quantum Love’, ‘Quantum Healing’ etc. Other than that, much of the key con......more

I wanted to love this book. I love Chris Ferrie’s science books for babies and Sourcebooks Nonfiction. However, I was offended by this book. I’ve been contemplating if my skin is too thin or if I was taking the jokes too personally, but I don’t think that is it. I am a high school chemistry teacher.......more

The humor is thrown at you a bunch in the book and most of it worked for me. This was a fun, short read. And I got my little nerdy giggles reading the parts about quantum physics.......more

I truly loved this book and laughed out loud so often while reading it! I appreciated the stream of consciousness style; the voice felt like my own (if I could explain quantum physics)!......more
