Aaargh! Physics!: How the 20th century revolution in physics gave us black holes, superconductivity and the periodic table of the elements

The discoveries of the 20th century helped us understand black holes, superconductivity and chemistry. This book describes the two main discoveries, and how these two led to explanations for some mind-boggling phenomena.

This book does not assume any knowledge of physics, nor does it use any equations. It is intended for anyone who has ever wondered about Einstein, or for anyone who is curious about some pretty weird physics but does not want to study physics to learn something about it.
