A Simple Guide - Synopsis
One of the most brilliant and well-known scientists of all time, Albert Einstein, said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." Tony Harris proves with this concise guide that he does understand his subject matter very well indeed. The book he has written will inspire a whole new generation of scientists - a generation that will span all age groups.
A Simple Guide to Popular Physics does exactly what the title promises - it delves into the mind-boggling world of particles, quantum physics and cosmology in a clear and user-friendly way.
Have you ever asked yourself why, if the atoms that make up all matter consist mainly of empty space, structures don't collapse and you don't fall through your living room floor? Are you fascinated by the relativity between time and space? Perhaps you've wondered whether antimatter really exists, and if so, where is it? Where does it come from? Is it capable of existence as we understand the word? Is our reality even real?
Tony Harris answers these questions and many more with this book, breaking concepts down into simple components and explaining each in user-friendly terms. Whatever your age, this concise guide will provide you with the background and the confidence you need to find out more, whether it be about the very tiny - particle physics and quantum mechanics - or the unimaginable massive, such as cosmology and the Big Bang.
A Simple Guide is here to whet your appetite. It aims to give you a broad overview of the basics of particles, quantum physics and cosmology, introducing you to experiments conducted by some of the greatest scientists the world has known along with the work they have done. Armed with this solid grounding, you will then be in a good position to expand your knowledge.
The wonderful world of science is accessible to everyone. A Simple Guide provides the grounding; all you need to add is an enquiring mind.
BOOKLIFE REVIEW. Harris's inviting guide promises to give "absolute beginners" from "teens to centenarians" a basic grounding in particle physics, quantum physics, and cosmology-all without making readers do math. With the goal of introducing the basics and encouraging readers to explore more deeply afterwards, Harris notes "Like the fish we have no notion of what is beyond the boundaries of our knowledge, but unlike the fish, we know there is something." He starts by presenting those boundaries, the fundamentals of classic physics (Newton's law, states of matter, types of energy), with crisp clarity before laying out an accessible explanation of Einstein's theory of relativity, the structure of the atom, and the mysteries of quantum mechanics.
¿ Inviting and illuminating, this introduction to physics truly targets the reader who is entirely new to the subject.
