Recenzii
Explains deep and profound concepts in a very simple language. A marvelous book!
In this amazing book, Zubairy manages to cover a very broad range of material on the laws that define our universe. He explains the conceptual foundations of quantum mechanics, the laws of the special and general theories of relativity, and the developments in the field of cosmology for both experts and novice in a clear and transparent manner.
A hundred years ago two overarching physical theories-Quantum Mechanics and Relativity-upended our understanding of the world, such that the implications and even meaning of these theories are still controversial. This book presents many of these implications for a lay but interested reader, in a clear and lucid manner.
Quantum mechanics and Einstein's theories of relativity are among the most important achievements of human intellect ever. We discovered what happens inside an atom and a nucleus and it increased our understanding of the evolution of the universe. These ideas are not easily accessible to someone without a background in physics and mathematics. A Mysterious Universe brilliantly brings these laws of nature and their consequences together, explaining deep and profound concepts in very simple language. Covering vast materials, it not only includes the extraordinary laws of quantum mechanics and laws of relativity, but also the astonishing developments in the field of cosmology in such a concise and accessible way. The laws that govern this universe are explained with many simple and understandable examples. It's a marvellous book!
