The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics - Robert Oerter

Descriere The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics - Robert Oerter

\nThere are two scientific theories that, taken together, explain the entire universe. The first, which describes the force of gravity, is widely known: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. But the theory that explains everything else--the Standard Model of Elementary Particles--is virtually unknown among the general public. \nIn The Theory of Almost Everything, Robert Oerter shows how what were once thought to be separate forces of nature were combined into a single theory by some of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century. Rich with accessible analogies and lucid prose, The Theory of Almost Everything celebrates a heretofore unsung achievement in human knowledge--and reveals the sublime structure that underlies the world as we know it.\n
