The undivided universe
In the The Undivided Universe, David Bohn and Basil Hiley present a radically different approach to quantum theory. They develop an interpretation of quantum mechanics which gives a clear, intuitive understanding of its meaning and in which there is…
Zwaartekracht - Van Aristoteles tot Einstein en verder
Zwaartekracht is zowel in praktische als in wetenschappelijke zin interessant. De sterrenkundige Darling beschrijft beide aspecten op een heldere en aansprekende manier. Voorbeelden van de praktische kant zijn de architectuur van grote gebouwen,…
Introduction to Elementary Particles
In the second, revised edition of a well-established textbook, the author strikes a balance between quantitative rigor and intuitive understanding, using a lively, informal style. The first chapter provides a detailed historical introduction to the…
Revolutions in twentieth-century physics
The conceptual changes brought by modern physics are important, radical and fascinating, yet they are only vaguely understood by people working outside the field. Exploring the four pillars of modern physics – relativity, quantum mechanics,…
The end of physics
The myth of a unified theory: A thought-provoking critique of the search for a unified theory that would define the entire physical world traces the history of particle physics and argues that a unified theory would be untestable, as well as a…
Where does the weirdness go?
Few revolutions in science have been more far-reaching—but less understood—than the quantum revolution in physics. Everyday experience cannot prepare us for the sub-atomic world, where quantum effects become all-important. Here, particles can look…
Superstrings
Since Einstein, physicists have been pursuing a holy grail - a single theory that would order all the subatomic particles in the universe and unify the forces of nature. Such a theory would answer questions like: How did the universe begin? What is…
Blauwdruk van de kosmos
De hoogleraar theoretische natuurkunde geeft zijn visie op het ontstaan en de evolutie van het leven waarbij hij beargumenteert dat een en ander op méér berust dan alleen natuurkundige wetten en toevallige gebeurtenissen.
