When the Uncertainty Principle Goes to 11
Or How to Explain Quantum Physics with Heavy Metal

Did I fully understand everything in this book? No. But I did learn a lot of interesting theories and Dr. Moriarty's passion for physics and Heavy metal is absolutely contagious and makes you want to keep reading(or in my case listening)......more

[I received a copy of this book through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.] Why, oh, why did I take so much time to read this book? Well, alright, perhaps because I was busy reading other books to teach myself some physics principles, which, I admit, is never a bad thing when your physics c......more

I may be slightly biased in my review since I've been taught by professor Moriarty during my undergraduate years, where he was comfortably my favourite member of the physics faculty. Nevertheless, I'm also a fan of 'pop' science books, and while 'When the Uncertainty Principle Goes to 11: Or How to......more

I listened to the unabridged 10-hour audio version of this title (read by Tim Gerard Reynolds, Recorded Books, 2018). The phrase "going to 11" is a pop-culture expression for "going to the extreme"; it is taken from the 1984 movie "This Is Spinal Tap," where a guitarist demonstrates an amplifier who......more

Definitely one of the best books I’ve read introducing a heavy topic like quantum physics by way of another topic. It should be said, though, as a drummer and music engineer (and heavy metal enthusiast myself), there is some bias here, and I’ve noticed that some key topics of the book such as phasin......more
