From Quarks to Black Holes – Interviewing the Universe by Richard T Hammond (PDF)

Description

This book presents a series of delightful interviews in which natural objects such as an electron, a black hole, a galaxy, and even the vacuum itself, reveal their innermost secrets — not only what they are but also how they feel. A hydrogen atom tells us about quantum mechanics and why we live in a non-deterministic world; a black hole explains curved space and naked singularities; and a uranium atom talks of its life on a meteor, its tremendous collision with Earth, and properties of radioactivity — all while grappling with its own mortality. A neutron star gives a personal account of its creation and goes on to discuss quasars and other extraordinary astronomical objects, while an iron atom describes its birth in a remote supernova explosion and its series of adventures on Earth, from its early use in wrought iron processes to its time in a human body, and then to its latest misadventures.The book discusses many fundamental issues in physics and, at times, examines the philosophical and moral issues of society. For example, the interview with the quark reveals the nature of color gauge symmetry, which is interwoven with a discussion on truth and beauty, and shows how these concepts play an integral part in physics and nature, while the uranium atom expresses its horror of the development and use of the atomic bomb.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a fast reading, wonderfully simple explaination of the universe and it’s make-up. Being written just as easy as asking simple questions and getting clear,easy and concise answers. I originally read this on kindle and now bought the hard copy so I could re-read it and then pass it on to others. I wish more topics could be written this way.The interviews were short and informative. Quite a few topics were discussed and interviewed. The length of the book was just right

⭐The book presents the information is a very simple way, by making interviews with particles, planets, etc.Unfortunately, many of the information were presented in a misleading and simplistic manner, which does not give the reader the right idea.
