Following the hugely successful The Science Book and The Math Book
comes a richly illustrated chronology of physics, containing 250 short,
entertaining, and thought-provoking entries. In addition to exploring
such engaging topics as dark energy, parallel universes, the Doppler
effect, the God particle, and Maxwells demon, the books timeline extends
back billions of years to the hypothetical Big Bang and forward
trillions of years to a time of "quantum resurrection." Like the
previous titles in this series, The Physics Book helps readers gain an
understanding of major concepts without getting bogged down in complex
details.
