text How the Hippies Saved Physics: Science, Counterculture, and the Quantum Revival
Meh. EST plus Uri Gellar plus Berkeley do not a narrative make. This was alternately deadly and laughable. I like the premise, I really do, but I don't think Kaiser does justice to it. Maybe the hippies DID save physics, maybe they didn't. This book doesn't convince me, and it put me to sleep multip...

Kaiser argues that the Second World War and the Cold War had relegated physics in America to number crunching and practical applicat...
