The Ghost in the Atom
by P. C. W. Davies
In this book, which has its origin in a series of radio broadcasts, Paul Davies interviews eight physicists involved in debating and testing quantum theory, with radically different views of its significance.
Book
The Elegant Universe
by Brian Greene
Introduces the superstring theory that attempts to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics
Book
The Fabric of the Cosmos
by Brian Greene
From one of the world's leading physicists comes a grand tour of the universe that makes readers look at space, time, and the texture of reality in a completely different way. 146 illustrations.
Book
Warped Passages
by Lisa Randall
The universe has many secrets. It may hide additional dimensions of space other than the familier three we recognize. There might even be another universe adjacent to ours, invisible and unattainable . . . for now. Warped Passages is a brilliantly readable and altogether exhilarating journey that tracks the arc of discovery from early twentieth-century physics to the razor's edge of modern scientific theory. One of the world's leading theoretical physicists, Lisa Randall provides astonishing scientific possibilities that, until recently, were restricted to the realm of science fiction. Unraveling the twisted threads of the most current debates on relativity, quantum mechanics, and gravity, she explores some of the most fundamental questions posed by Nature—taking us into the warped, hidden dimensions underpinning the universe we live in, demystifying the science of the myriad worlds that may exist just beyond our own.
