Chris Ferrie - Quantum Physics for Babies

In a recent survey, nearly 1 in 3 Americans said they would rather clean a toilet than do a single math problem. Tell someone on the street that you are a physicist, or worse, a mathematician, and you’ll be acknowledged with a “I hated math in school” or “I was never any good at math.” Tell them you are a quantum physicist and you’ll be lucky if you get a response. Chris Ferrie plans to vanquish those doubts and fears by introducing children to quantum physics. But, how young is too young? Enter Quantum Physics for Babies.

Hear from author and quantum theorist Chris Ferrie, IQC and University of Waterloo, Faculty of Mathematics alumnus, about his experience in communicating quantum information science to a larger audience.

Your books are ABSOLUTELY amazing. We have been reading it to our 2 and a half year old daughter since 6 months of age. She knows hippos, rhinos, warthogs and a myriad of numbers and her alphabet. She does, however, also know about balls, atoms, nucleus, valence electrons and the periodic table - and I'm not joking. She loves the periodic table because of the various numbers, and she is busy learning the phonetic alphabet, therefore she can now apply her alphabet skills to "read" words like ball and baby. She also understands hypothetical dummies orbiting the earth, lol, and recognises that she lives on planet earth.

The stars and carbons in the Astrophysics book also really excites her. She counts the suns, carbons and valence electrons without fail. As we aren't religious we appreciate the analogy of being created from stars, and forming part of this cycle.

PS - we are from South Africa, and our baby is certainly enjoying the concepts and books, so don't underestimate the value in small children. She may not be an astrophysicist one day, but she will certainly carry essential knowledge into her school career and adult life.

Do you sell box sets? Where? Right now all of them are at booktopia for $300... is there anywhere that sells it as a box set. Also are the books interactive like flip ups etc?
