Hi /sci/
It has suddendly occured to me that I need to 'understand' ( as in, have a somewhat clear picture of) Quantum Mechanics. Do any of you know of a good book explaining it in laymans term, not using to much math? An article or something else is great too.
I know that I should be crucified just asking for this, but maybe some of you can see through the bloodred hatred against a humanist taking on science, and actually just help me.

I'm not searching for entry-entry-level, like popularscience og something like that, but more of the kind that takes its readers serious, but leaves out the complex math.

Thank you!

That's not really popular. Leaving out the math basically results in removing almost all the content. Popular science books are your best bet. There is a book or two by Hawking that would probably of decent quality.

And by the first popular, I mean possible.
