Those who find modern physics challenging -- including the theory of relativity, Quantum mechanics, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, chaos theory and field theory -- will find this book a great help. In addition to explaining theories, John Charap also gives readers a lively sense of the history of modern physics and an insight into what physicists think about the ultimate nature of space, time energy, and the universe itself. He considers the technological applications of modern physics, especially in the realm of computers, and evaluates the physicist's ultimate dream: to have a unified theory of everything.
