Description
Book Synopsis: How do magnets generate electricity? What is antimatter? Is time travel possible? Discover the answers to these and over 90 other big questions that explore the most important laws, theories, and breakthrough moments in our understanding of physics – from the earliest civilizations to the 21st century.
The Physics Book comprises concise information and step-by-step diagrams that untangle knotty theories, memorable quotes, and witty illustrations that play with our understanding of physics. This diverse and inclusive account of physics includes Pythagoras's observations on music, Galileo's experiments with spheres, and Isaac Newton's theories of gravity and the laws of motion, unlocking Albert Einstein's insights into relativity, how the accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation confirmed the Big Bang theory and the reasons most of the Universe is “missing”.
This captivating book will broaden your understanding of physics, offering:
- A foreword by renowned British scientist Professor Jim Al-Khalil.
- Profiles of over 80 ideas and events that shaped our understanding of physics and its significance to everyday life.
- Thought-provoking images and flow-charts that demystify the central concepts behind each idea.
- Insightful quotes from leading physicists, such as Archimedes, Galileo and Einstein.
- A directory section for easy localization.
