Fundamental Constants, The: A Mystery Of Physics by Harald Fritzsch (PDF)

Description

The speed of light, the fine structure constant, and Newton’s constant of gravity — these are just three among the many physical constants that define our picture of the world. Where do they come from? Are they constant in time and across space? In this book, physicist and author Harald Fritzsch invites the reader to explore the mystery of the fundamental constants of physics in the company of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and a modern-day physicist. The conversation that the three scientists are imagined to have provides an entertaining introduction to the constants and covers topics ranging from atomic, nuclear, and particle physics to astrophysics and cosmology.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review Although written by an expert, The Fundamental Constants is surprisingly accessible, and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in the subtleties of modern physics. For the novice, the dialog device effectively communicates intuitive arguments in an entertaining way. Seasoned physicists, too, particularly those teaching introductory courses on modern physics, will find some of its explanations and insights quite useful. –Physics TodaySections that deal with responses to questions are generally clear and to the point. Occasional photos and drawings are nicely done and complement the text … This book is interesting and has some nice points. –Choice

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

⭐Not readable. Written as a dialog between well know historical scientists. Dialog contrived, non factual. Would read fiction if that was what I wanted. More facts less fiction.
