• A. Douglas Stone, un físico que se ha pasado la vida utilizando la mecánica cuántica para explorar nuevos fenómenos sorprendentes, ha volcado sus considerables dotes de escritor en reflexionar sobre Einstein y lo cuántico. Lo que encuentra y hace ampliamente comprensible son las riquezas del pensamiento de Einstein, no sobre la relatividad, no sobre sus discusiones con Bohr, sino sobre las profundas percepciones de Einstein sobre el mundo cuántico, percepciones que Stone muestra que nos hablan ahora con toda la viveza y profundidad que tenían hace un siglo. Se trata de un libro fascinante, vivo, atractivo y lleno de intuiciones físicas.
