In this illuminating book, the renowned theoretical physicist Lee Smolin argues that fundamental physics -- the search for the laws of nature -- losing its way. Ambitious ideas about extra dimensions, exotic particles, multiple universes, and strings…

The Holy Grail of modern physics is the search for a ‘quantum gravity’ view of the universe that unites Einstein’s general relativity with quantum theory. Until recently, these two foundational pillars of modern science have seemed incompatible:…

De resultaten van het onderzoek naar het gedrag van de materie wordt op een begrijpelijke manier uitgelegd in dit boek.

The latest volume in the New York Times bestselling physics series explains Einstein's masterpiece: the general theory of relativityHe taught us classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and special relativity. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind, assisted…

This one-of-a-kind introduction to the strange world of quantum mechanics by world-class physicist Leonard Susskind and data engineer Art Friedman is the ultimate master class in physics. In this brilliant follow-up to the international bestseller…

Perfect for those interested in physics but who are not physicists or mathematicians, this book makes relativity so simple that a child can understand it. By replacing equations with diagrams, the book allows non-specialist readers to fully…

Based on a conference held at Stanford University, this book gives the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of an exciting physics revolution--the rise of the Standard Model. The third volume of a series recounting the history of particle…

Natuurkunde of fysica is de wetenschap die zich bezighoudt met de natuur in haar meest abstracte vorm. In de Oudheid begonnen als een meer beschouwelijke wetenschap, is de natuurkunde de laatste vijf eeuwen steeds meer haar stempel op de samenleving…

In The Age of Entanglement, Louisa Gilder brings to life one of the pivotal debates in twentieth century physics. In 1935, Albert Einstein famously showed that, according to the quantum theory, separated particles could act as if intimately…

Advancing technology in many diverse fields has brought about profound change in every facet of life. The rapid developments in strategic defence and laser research, superconductivity, computers and telecommunications rivet the attention of millions…
