Everything is Physics: Understanding physics at the fundamental level - Book I

This book begins with a fascinating account of the history of our knowledge of the Universe. This starts with the discoveries made at the turn of the 20th Century, bringing us up to date to what is currently known about modern physics. It also describes the most recent discoveries that have been made about the Universe. One of the most intriguing of these discoveries remains a mystery to scientists. That is, there is energy inherent in the vacuum of empty space.

The book sheds light on this by explaining two of the most important theories of modern physics. These are known as the Einstein’s special relativity and quantum physics. The writing style is intended to drive the reader to investigate these theories in such a way that even the unfamiliar audience can readily comprehend the subject matter. In the later Chapters a revealing and direct approach to the understanding of the special relativity and in particular quantum physics is developed, which explains these two theories in line with contemporary modern string theory. For those who are interested in greater detail, there are highly instructive appendices that include explanatory and technical notes.

This book amplifies our knowledge of the nature of the Universe as a whole, and explores the possible candidates for the inherent energy in empty space. The book also gives an overview of modern physics, and explores the possibility of a paradigm shift in our understanding of quantum physics. Overall the book is presented in a comprehensible, clear, concise and compelling way.
