David Kaiser reads from
How the Hippies Saved Physics.

Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome MIT's David Kaiser for a discussion of 
his latest book, How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the
 Quantum Revival.

In the 1970s, an eccentric group of physicists in Berkeley, California,  banded 
together to explore the wilder side of science. Dubbing  themselves the "Fundamental
Fysiks Group," they pursued an audacious,  speculative approach to physics, studying
quantum entanglement in terms  of Eastern mysticism and psychic mind reading. As
 David Kaiser reveals,  these unlikely heroes spun modern physics in a new direction,
forcing  mainstream physicists to pay attention to the strange but exciting  underpinnings
of quantum theory.

"It's rare to find quantum physics mentioned in the same breath with  sex, drugs
 and rock 'n' roll. . . I heartily enjoyed How the Hippies  Saved Physics." -Wall
Street Journal

"Meticulously researched and unapologetically romantic, How the Hippies Saved Physics
makes the history of science fun again." -Science
