About this listen
Learn how quantum physics affects your daily life and learn practical ways to put that knowledge to good use! Ever feel guilty that you always seem to seek the easiest and shortest way to accomplish something? And why is it so satisfying to drive along a road hitting every green light, as if by magic? The Quantum Rules applies the laws of physics to explain everything from relationships and human nature to the effects of globalization. It achieves the impossible task of making quantum physics deeply relevant to all listeners - even those with no interest in science. With a lively and engaging tone, author Kunal Das ponders the underlying truths and patterns in our shared and common life experiences, using insights derived from the fundamental laws of physics. In The Quantum Rules, listeners will find a fresh, new perspective on the human experience and in the process effortlessly absorb some of the most important laws of physics without facing any math or dense logic. What you learn will surprise, entertain, and perhaps even shock you with its simple logic - once you've learned about the laziness clause, your life will never be the same again!
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

r alive. Then someone comes and talks to you and the 'wave' instantly 'collapses' and you become a person. Observation from others makes you 'real', hence the drive for social success. I haven't come across a better expression of my own experience than this.

In addition, the book strays needlessly away from quantum physics, I got to the point where the author is discussing the effects of McDonalds on culture before I decided to add the book to my archive.
If you enjoy science books, there are plenty of much better books out there, don't bother with this.

The authors obvious personal opinions about gender norms and immigration policy were cringe worthy.
Using science to give false validation to political views is dangerous. They should stick to explaining physics and using analogies about guitar strings vibrating.
The chapter about potential gradients was reminiscent of the "plague of rats" description by the Nazis. They even seem to suggest building walls to keep poor people out and pretty directly blamed the financial crash on migrants burdening the systems of the rich countries.
The author is not an expert in social science and it's deeply unethical for them to use their platform as a physicist to tout their racist, elitist and ill-informed opinions.
Some of the analogies helped me understand certain concepts better, but it was largely hindered by irritating commentary.
I get that the author was trying to mirror the quantum world with our experience of life but it just left me feeling like he didn't have a great understanding of life and that he has an ironic lack of awareness of bias for a scientist.
long-winded and irrelevant
