Breakfast with particulates

An exciting and revealing journey into the mind and the origins of life through quantum physics.

You hold in your hands an essay on quantum physics.

One moment, please. Wait!

Don't let this scare you and make you drop the book abruptly.

Would you accept an invitation to breakfast?

If you decide to venture through these pages, you will discover a universe as wonderful as it is perplexing. Quantum theory is one of the most beautiful and astounding in science. The rules it follows are wild compared to our daily lives. They are counterintuitive. As we delve into the quantum world, our beliefs about reality are challenged, as are those of our everyday reality.

Sonia Fernández-Vidal, writer and Doctor in Quantum Physics, and Francesc Miralles, writer and journalist, invite us to a fun breakfast which will also be attended by Newton, Einstein, Heisenberg and other famous physicists in history. Between muffins, toast, coffee with milk and orange juices, we will embark on a fascinating and revealing journey to the origins of the universe and learn what a particle accelerator is for, what the God particle is, how things can be in two places at once... and we will even try to understand the mysteries of existence.
