| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references (pages 477-479) and index Motion on earth and in the heavens -- Energy, heat and chance -- Electricity and magnetism -- Light -- Space and time -- Least action -- Gravitation and curved spacetime -- The quantum revolution -- Quantum theory with special relativity -- Order breaks symmetry -- Quarks and what holds them together -- Unifying weak forces with QED -- Gravitation plus Quantum theory, stars and black holes -- Particles, symmetries and the universe -- Queries "As physics has progressed through the ages it has succeeded in explaining more and more diverse phenomena with fewer and fewer underlying principles. This book explains how this understanding has developed by periodically uncovering unexpected "hidden unities" in nature. The author deftly steers the reader on a fascinating path that goes to the heart of physics - the search for and discovery of elegant laws that unify and simplify our understanding of the intricate universe in which we live." "Starting with the ancient Greeks, the author traces the development of major concepts in physics right up to the present day. Throughout, the presentation is crisp and informative, and only a minimum of mathematics is used. Any reader with a background in mathematics or physics will find this book provides fascinating insight into the development of our fundamental understanding of the world, and the apparent simplicity underlying it."--Jacket |
