Our understanding of nature, and in particular of physics and the
laws governing it, has changed radically since the days of the
ancient Greek natural philosophers. This book explains how and why
these changes occurred, through landmark experiments as well as
theories that - for their time - were revolutionary. The
presentation covers Mechanics, Optics, Electromagnetism,
Thermodynamics, Relativity Theory, Atomic Physics and Quantum
Physics. The book places emphasis on ideas and on a qualitative
presentation, rather than on mathematics and equations. Thus,
although primarily addressed to those who are studying or have
studied science, it can also be read by non-specialists. The author
concludes with a discussion of the evolution and organization of
universities, from ancient times until today, and of the
organization and dissemination of knowledge through scientific
publications and conferences.
