Book Description
內容簡介
磁鐵是如何發電的?反物質是什么?時間旅行可能嗎?
發現這些和超過90個其他大問題的答案，探索最重要的定律，理論和突破時刻，在我們的理解物理-從最早的文明到21世紀。
《物理書》用清晰的英語編寫，內容簡短，精辟的解釋，通過技術語言，循序漸進的圖表，解開復雜的理論，令人難忘的引用和詼諧的插圖，玩我們對物理的理解
這一多樣性和包容性的物理學解釋包括畢達哥拉斯對音樂的觀察，伽利略的球體實驗，和艾薩克·牛頓的引力和運動定律理論，解開了阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦對相對論的洞見，宇宙微波背景輻射的意外發現如何證實了大爆炸理論，以及宇宙大部分是“失蹤”的原因。
本書展示了每個想法和突破是如何產生的，考察了能源和物質、電和磁、量子、核物理和粒子物理等領域的歷史和更廣泛的發展。
清晰的文字和大膽的圖形，物理 使用一個創新的視覺方法，使每個人都可以訪問的主題，無論你是一個狂熱的學生或只是好奇的數學。如果你曾經想知道物理學家是如何闡明并證明這些抽象概念的，那么這本書就是你的好選擇。

How do magnets generate electricity? What is antimatter? Is time travel possible?
Discover the answers to these and over 90 other big questions that explore the most important laws, theories, and breakthrough moments in our understanding of physics - from the earliest civilizations to the 21st century.
Written in clear English,
The Physics Book
is packed with short, pithy explanations that cut through technical language, step-by-step diagrams that untangle knotty theories, memorable quotes, and witty illustrations that play with our understanding of physics.
This diverse and inclusive account of physics includes Pythagoras' observations on music, Galileo's experiments with spheres, and Isaac Newton's theories of gravity and the laws of motion, unlocking Albert Einstein's insights into relativity, how the accidental discovery of cosmic microwave background radiation confirmed the Big Bang theory, and the reasons most of the Universe is "missing". Showing how each idea and breakthrough came about, entries examine the history and wider developments in areas such as energy and matter, electricity and magnetism, and quantum, nuclear, and particle physics.
Continuing the "Big Ideas" series' trademark combination of authoritative, clear text and bold graphics,
The Physics Book
uses an innovative visual approach to make the subject accessible to everyone, whether you're an avid student or just curious about maths. If you've ever wondered exactly how physicists formulated - and proved - these abstract concepts, this is the perfect book for you.
