Every object in the room around you is living a double life.
In 1801, a London physician shone sunlight through two narrow slits and watched something that should not have been possible: light bending around corners, canceling itself into darkness, weaving stripes out of nothing. He had just proven light was a wave. A century later, that same light was proven to be made of particles too. Then electrons, the supposedly solid stuff of matter, were caught doing the exact same impossible trick.
Nobody has ever fully explained why. They have only confirmed, again and again, in laboratories from Bell Labs to Vienna to Delft, that reality genuinely does behave differently depending on whether anyone is watching it closely enough to check.
The Machine That Dreams in Waves follows the two hundred year argument this discovery set off, told through the people who lived it. Thomas Young, ridiculed by Britain's scientific establishment for daring to question Newton. Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein, lifelong friends who never once agreed on what reality actually is, one insisting God does not play dice, the other calmly replying that it was not his place to tell God what to do. Erwin Schrodinger, who invented a thought experiment about a cat specifically to mock an idea he found ridiculous, only to watch it become the most famous image in modern science. Richard Feynman, who built the mathematics that now runs quantum computers while grieving his young wife's death, drawing diagrams that looked like doodles and turned out to describe the universe.
This is not a textbook and it will not ask anything of you but curiosity. There is no math to solve here, no jargon left unexplained. What there is instead is a genuinely strange true story, told the way the best true stories are told, through the ambitions, rivalries, breakdowns, and late night arguments of the people who could not stop asking why light refuses to pick a side.
The book closes where the frontier actually stands today: inside the quantum computers now being built by IBM and Google, machines that only work because a single particle can, somehow, still explore every possible path at once before it settles into being just one thing. The same impossible behavior Thomas Young noticed with a candle and a strip of card is now running some of the most advanced technology on Earth.
Every experiment in this book actually happened. Every scientist is real, every date is real, every quoted exchange comes from the historical record. Nothing here has been invented to make the story move faster, because the true story was already strange enough.
If you have ever wanted to understand what quantum physics actually says, not the pop culture version, not the motivational poster version, but the real, documented, Nobel Prize winning story, and you have wanted it told the way a great biography is told rather than the way a textbook drones on, this book was written for exactly that wish.
Open it tonight. You will not want to put it down until the last page, and you will never look at a beam of light the same way again.

Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
