The New Physics (Science and Discovery Series)

Professor Taylor describes, in lucid, everyday language, some of the latest fundamental ideas in physics that have radically altered our conception of the universe. The most important of these is the real possibility of unity in the universe, in that the same basic ideas seem to be important in understanding processes occurring over the smallest distances inside a nucleus and over the largest distances of the complete universe. This new concept of unity is emphasized throughout the author's discussion - from man's earliest crude attempts to establish order within his world to today's sophisticated methods. This is a new book in the "Science & Discovery" series - a series which presents the exciting world of science as only scientists know it.
