The conceptual changes brought by modern physics are important,
radical and fascinating, yet they are only vaguely understood by
people working outside the field. Exploring the four pillars of modern
physics – relativity, quantum mechanics, elementary particles and
cosmology – this clear and lively account will interest anyone who
has wondered what Einstein, Bohr, Schrödinger and Heisenberg were
really talking about. The book discusses quarks and leptons,
antiparticles and Feynman diagrams, curved space-time, the Big Bang
and the expanding Universe. Suitable for undergraduate students in
non-science as well as science subjects, it uses problems and worked
examples to help readers develop an understanding of what recent
advances in physics actually mean.
