Quantum 101
A History of the Unseen
by James Johnson
Dedication
For the ones who asked why.
And didn’t stop when the answer got weird.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
TO THE PHYSICISTS who followed the math where it didn’t want to go.
To the skeptics who kept asking what it meant.
And to every confused student who heard “shut up and calculate” and thought:
No. Explain it.
You were right to ask.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
JJ WRITES BOOKS that expose the systems behind everything. Science, power, history, and the illusions that hold it all together. His work blends deep research with sharp clarity, tackling the topics everyone hears about but few actually understand. With over 200 titles spanning physics, philosophy, politics, psychology, and religion, he builds maps of the world we’re living in and how we got here.
He does not collapse the wavefunction. He just writes it down.
