Explore the laws and theories of physics in this accessible
introduction to the forces that shape our Universe, our planet, and
our everyday lives. Using a bold, graphic-led approach The Physics
Book sets out more than 80 key concepts and discoveries that have
defined the subject and influenced our technology since the
beginning of time. Seven themed chapters examine the history and
developments in areas such as energy and matter, and electricity
and magnetism, as well as quantum, nuclear, and particle physics.
Eureka moments abound: from Pythagoras's observations of the
pleasing harmonies created by vibrating strings, and Galileo's
experiments with spheres, to Isaac Newton's apple and his
conclusions about gravity and the laws of motion. You'll also learn
about Albert Einstein's insights into relativity, how the
accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation
confirmed the Big Bang theory, the search for the Higgs boson
particle, and why most of our Universe is missing. If you've ever
wondered exactly how physicists formulated - and proved - these
abstract concepts, The Physics Book is the book for you.
