String theory proclaims that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe are reflections of one grand physical principle and manifestations of one single entity: microscopically tiny vibrating loops of energy. This text relates the scientific stor...Daugiau...
Entropy is an idea that is no less important than energy, but it is not widely understood. We are surrounded by free energy: what we value is energy thats not too polluted with entropy. This book explains how the concepts of energy and entropy were...Daugiau...
How the Einsteinian revolution can be understood as the result of a long-term evolution of science The revolution that emerged from Albert Einsteins work in the early twentieth century transformed our understanding of space, time, motion,...Daugiau...
This book is a full, long-term history of relativity thinking in physics, from Galileos early reflections on the proper reference of mechanical motion to Einsteins exploitation of relativity principles in his theories of special and general relativ...Daugiau...
