Description

Explore the evolution of scientific thought with Beyond the Mechanical Universe: From Electricity to Modern Physics. Published by Cambridge University Press, this second volume of the Mechanical Universe series examines the transition from classical concepts to modern theories. The text covers electricity, magnetism, and their relationship to light, explaining how these studies led to the special theory of relativity. Readers will journey into the realm of modern physics, where particles exhibit wave-like behavior and Newtonian physics faces new questions. This book treats physics as a human endeavor, using historical development to guide the reader through complex changes in scientific understanding. Based on the public television series broadcast in the United States, this volume provides a deep look into the fundamental shifts that shaped our current understanding of the universe.

Key Features

This second volume of the Mechanical Universe series explores the transition from electricity and magnetism to modern physics.

The text explains how the study of light led to the development of the special theory of relativity.

Readers can examine modern physics concepts where particles behave like waves and Newtonian physics is re-evaluated.

Cambridge University Press presents physics as a human endeavor by using historical development as a central theme.

This book is based on the public television series broadcast in the United States to support its educational content.
