If in doubt check either the author or publisher’s details as we are unable to accept any returns unless they are faulty. Please contact us if you have any questions.
This book offers a thorough exploration of historical and scientific advancements in understanding the physical universe. It traces the evolution of cosmic theories from ancient philosophies to cutting-edge modern discoveries that are unraveling the mysteries of reality. Topics include Astronomy, Newtonian Mechanics, Einstein's Special and General Theories of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, Particle Physics, and String Theory, all presented within a historical framework. Designed for the curious layperson, the book avoids complex mathematical equations, making it a more accessible alternative to traditional physics texts.
Astronomy explores celestial phenomena, including the movements of stars, planets, and comets. Newtonian Mechanics, introduced by Sir Isaac Newton, examines the motion of both celestial and terrestrial bodies under gravity. Einstei's theories of Relativity delve into the nature of space and time, explaining phenomena such as the speed of light, curved space, and gravity, from the Big Bang to Black Holes. Quantum Mechanics, on the other hand, addresses the behavior of subatomic particles, where classical physics no longer applies, and events are dictated by probabilities rather than certainties.
