Title: The Weight of Quantum: Quantum Theory and the Structure of Physics
Author: Tristan Hübsch
Category: Nonfiction, Science & Nature, Science, Physics, Gravity, Quantum Theory
Language: English | 342 Pages | ISBN: 9781040763780
Description:
This book provides a unified overview of “modern physics” – combining its foundational pillars: relativity, quantum physics and gravity – and takes the reader on a tour of fundamental physics, through structural, historical and biographical perspectives. The book presents a “big picture” of physics, as well as its completion in terms of a new vision of the quantum theory of space, time, matter and energy.
Chapters explore the overarching and unfinished structure of fundamental physics, defined via the three fundamental constants of physics (the velocity of light, the gravitational constant and the Planck constant).
The book also celebrates the centenary of quantum mechanics, and the apparent conceptual conflict between quantum theory and the deepest theory of spacetime physics, Einstein’s general theory of relativity, and the resolution of that conflict in a new (“gravitized quantum”) view of the problem of quantum gravity.
This book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of physics, professional physicists and scientists from other disciplines, as well as a general audience of non-professionals interested in the topic.
