Quantum physics might sound like the kind of subject you don’t really want to touch for an easy listen before you go to sleep - and nobody would blame you for that. When you understand the basics behind quantum physics, however, you understand that there is literally nothing mankind cannot do at this point. This book is meant to help you understand the basics of quantum physics, so that you can start asking the big questions and, with the help of modern physicists, find the answers to these questions as well.

The history of particle physics, the hunt for the most elusive particle, and the fundamental questions the search has inspired. 

There seems to be evidence to suggest that our world and everything in it are only ghostly images: projections from a level of reality so beyond our own that the real reality is literally beyond both space and time. The main architect of this astonishing idea is one of the world’s most eminent thinkers - physicist David Bohm, a protégé of Einstein’s. In this executive summary, Chuck gives a current perspective on some of the areas that define our reality. 

In this book we will cover the history of physics. From Newton to Einstein, from Maxwell to Feynman, we will cover everything about the story that crafted modern physics and knowledge of the universe. We will discover secrets and hidden physics stories you didn’t know yet. You will learn how physics crafted the modern world, from computers to casino and betting, from atomic power to finance. Physicists crafted our world, and we are going to discover how.

Oxford University astrophysicist and popular YouTube personality Dr. Becky Smethurst presents everything you need to know about the universe in 10 accessible and engaging lessons. In Space at the Speed of Light: The History of 14 Billion Years for People Short on Time, she guides you through fundamental questions, both answered and unanswered, posed by space scientists. Why does gravity matter? How do we know the big bang happened?

In this Very Short Introduction, John Heilbron draws on sources never before presented in English to cover the life and work of one of the most creative physicists of the 20th century. In addition to his role as a scientist, Heilbron considers Bohr as a statesman and Danish cultural icon, who built scientific institutions and pushed for the extension of international cooperation in science to all nation states. As a humanist he was concerned with the cultivation of all sides of the individual, and with the complementary contributions of all peoples to the sum of human culture.
