Unifying the Universe: The Physics of Heaven and Earth presents a
non-technical approach to physics for the lay-science enthusiast.
This popular textbook, which evolved from a conceptual course at
Cornell University, is intended for non-science undergraduate
students taking their first physics module. This second edition
maintains its unique approach in crossing boundaries between
physics and humanities, with connections to art, poetry, history,
and philosophy. It explores how the process of scientific thought
is inextricably linked with cultural, creative, and aesthetic
aspects of human endeavor, opening the readers up to new ways of
looking at the world. The text has been fully updated throughout to
address current and exciting new topics in the field, such as
exo-planets, the accelerating Universe, dark matter, dark energy,
gravitational waves, super-symmetry, string theory, big bang
cosmology, and the Higgs boson. There is also an entirely new
chapter on the Quantum World, which connects the fascinating topics
of quantum entanglement and quantum computing. Key Features:
Provides a solid, yet accessible, background to basic physics
without complex mathematics Uses a human interest approach to show
how science is significant for more than its technological
consequences Discusses the arts and philosophies of historical
periods that are pertinent to the subject
