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…

Il y a un paradoxe de la mécanique quantique : voilà une théorie considérable de la physique contemporaine dont on est bien en peine de dire sur quoi elle porte et ce qu'elle signifie, car cela même ne va pas de soi. Le but de ce livre est de tenter…

This revised edition of a successful text, originally subtitled ‘A guide to its consequences for gravity and cosmology’, maintains an emphasis on the physical aspects of General Relativity, bringing the full mathematics in only when relevant.  Such…

Many scientists believe we are on the verge of a "Theory of Everything" - a complete unification of all the fundamental forces and particles of nature. In this book, the physicist and author Paul Davies gives an account of the quest for a superforce…

The seventeen chapters of this book were originally published in the "Griffith Observer" (a monthly magazine issued by the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles). More often than not, essay collections suffer from a lack of cohesiveness, but this book…

For all of you who break out in a sweat at the thought of thermodynamics, or freeze up at the mention of quantum mechanics, like a bolt from the blue, INSTANT PHYSICS will zap you through the fascinating history of our most basic, yet baffling,…

L'un est un écrivain et un scénariste célèbre. L'autre est un physicien et un chercheur mondialement connu. Une même interrogation les porte. Comment penser le monde après un siècle de bouleversements scientifiques ? Jean- Claude Carrière et Thibault…

This book is now rather aged, but this is, in its own way, an advantage. Professor Fritzsch, with Murray Gell-Mann, formulated the first QCD theories describing the colour interaction active between quarks. In this book, Fritzsch lays out the inner…

On the Shoulders of Giants investigates the relationship between the disciplines of physics and mathematics and shows how many of the most significant advances of 20th-century physics rely on mathematics developed, sometimes much earlier, with no…
