    About this ebook

    The 'Holy Grail' of physics, is to obtain a “Theory of Everything”, from quarks to cosmology. This book is aimed at introducing the layman to some of the modern scientific ideas of high energy particle physics. It begins by giving a brief historical account and then introduces some of the key concepts that scientists have developed in order to get a unifying understanding of these laws. Most of the explanation is given in terms of coloured diagrams and simple descriptions, without recourse to the difficult mathematics that is inherent in this subject. The book gives an overview of some of the cutting edge areas of physics, with no previous knowledge assumed. Topics covered include gravity, electromagnetism, the strong and weak nuclear interactions, quantum theory and cosmology. It is just one of a series of books based on modern physics. Other titles include;
    Special Relativity: A concise guide for beginners
    General Relativity: A concise guide for beginners
    Quantum Theory: A concise guide for beginners

      The Trouble with Theories of Everything: There is no known physics theory that is true at every scale—there may never be.

      Oct 1, 2015

      Whenever you say anything about your daily life, a scale is implied. Try it out. “I’m too busy” only works for an assumed time scale: today, for example, or this week. Not this century or this nanosecond. “Taxes are onerous” only makes sense for a ce

      Early in their training, many physics students come across the idea of spherical cows. Cows in the real world—even at their most plump and well-fed—are hardly spherical, and this makes it tricky to calculate things like, say, how their volume or surf
