Einstein’s 100-year-old revolutionary theory of gravitational waves and
Heisenberg's contributions to quantum physics, in light of recent
groundbreaking experiments in the field that prove these waves exist.
Written by an internationally renowned experimental physicist.
Appeals
to anybody curious about the history behind technology we take for
granted, from small objects like computers and lasers to larger projects
like spacecraft and nuclear energy.
Debunks the myths surrounding these two legendary scientists.
This
is a fascinating account of two great scientists of the 20th century:
Einstein and Heisenberg, discoverers, respectively, of the theory of
relativity and quantum mechanics. It connects the history of modern
physics to the life stories of these two extraordinary physicists.These
discoveries laid the foundation of modern physics, without which our
digitized world of computers, satellites, and innovative materials would
not be possible. This book also describes in comprehensible terms the
complicated science underlying the two discoveries.The twin biography
highlights the parallels and differences of these two luminaries,
showing how their work shaped the 20th century into the century of
physics.
