"In this book, the author leads the reader, step by step and without any advanced
mathematics, to a clear understanding of the foundations of modern elementary particle
physics and cosmology. He also addresses current and controversial questions on topics
such as string theory. The book contains gentle introductions to the theories of special
and general relativity, and also classical and quantum field theory. The essential
aspects of these concepts are understood with the help of simple calculations; for
example, the force of gravity as a consequence of the curvature of the space-time."
; "Also treated are the Big Bang, dark matter and dark energy, as well as the presently
known interactions of elementary particles: electrodynamics, the strong and the weak
interactions including the Higgs boson. Finally, the book sketches as yet speculative
theories: Grand Unification theories, supersymmetry, string theory and the idea of
additional dimensions of space-time. Since no higher mathematical or physics expertise
is required, the book is also suitable for college and university students at the
beginning of their studies. Hobby astronomers and other science enthusiasts seeking
a deeper insight than can be found in popular treatments will also appreciate this
unique book."--Provided by publisher
