quantum theory

The creator of the popular science blog uses his canine companion Emmy to explain the basic principles of quantum physics, introducing basic theories while profiling leading minds from Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr to Erwin Schrodinger and Isaac Newton.

Leonard Susskind recounts the battle between himself, Stephen Hawking, and Gerard 't Hooft over the true nature of black holes and explains why the battle was so important to the field of quantum mechanics.

Explores scientific advancements made through observations, theories, and tests in physics; discussing topics such as nuclear and particle physics, quantum mechanics, relativity, and cosmology. Includes photographs, illustrations, a list of resources, a periodic table of the elements, and an index.

Presents a brief history of quantum mechanics, discussing key figures such as Einstein, Bohr, and Planck in the early twentieth century, looking at modern theories of quantum computing and quantum gravity, and including a time line.

Traces the history and workings of the universe, including the Big Bang theory, and argues that particles in the universe convey information as well as energy.

Presents an exploration of the subatomic world, explaining how the twentieth-century theories of quantum mechanics--the physics of the very small, and special relativity--the physics of the very fast, have changed the scientific understanding of matter.

Physicist Stephen Hawking examines research conducted on the cosmos since his 1988 work "A Brief History of Time," seeking to combine Einstein's general theory of relativity with Richard Feynman's idea of multiple histories to create a single theory that describes everything that happens in the universe.

Contains seven scientific essays that address topics of extreme physics, including wormholes, negative energy, String Theory, and more.
