BOOK REVIEW: Physics and Philosophy by Werner Heisenberg

Physics and Philosophy is a book that explores the history of quantum mechanics. Written by one of the pioneers of the subject, it offers a first-hand account into the many ideas brought upon by the theory as well as its philosophical implications. The book serves as an interesting supplementary material to anyone learning the actual physics content of quantum mechanics through some formal textbook. This is my review and thoughts regarding this short but interesting read.

I usually don't comment on videos on CZcams.
However, this time I genuinely want to thank you for the effort you put into these videos. I've been watching your videos for a while now, and they are very inspirational.
Please keep it up!

I’m glad that you stuck with me throughout the time. Thank you for the kind comment! I definitely aim to keep up the book content.

Loved the review, it's quite refreshing to read books by the more famous physicists since their publications are usually restricted to papers etc which aren't always the best for bedtime reading! While I haven't read the book I think that at the time this book would have been a great way for non-physicists to try and understand QM, especially with the lack of equations! And I can definitely see how the philosophy parts would make the book dense, my brain starts to drift off with these kinds of things XD

I’m glad you enjoyed it! This would’ve been a nice addition next to something like Griffith’s textbook. The philosophy parts are a bit terse (doesn’t help that I always struggle with philosophy lol), but the book is generally nice!
