Beschreibung
"I had this feeling that space was not empty but here we're - its building blocks" - Space time magazine
What are the Ingredients of space? Is space physical? Is space Empty? -This book presents the building blocks of space.
This thought experimental book is a good introduction to the ingredients of space and has a lot of interesting history about the development of the theory since 1879. It's an informal introduction to a very difficult and doubtfully intelligible theory doubted even by its most ingenious contributors. The reader should expect that he/she will have to concentrate hard on what Balungi says but the rewards are significant. He is a talented physicist and a good writer. If you read it carefully and stop to think about the message as it unfolds then you will get a worthwhile if imperfect picture of what the theory is saying and how it was invented,It's buried treasure and you will have to do some digging. It is a really serious attempt to do all that can be done in an informal style. Balungi explains and re-defines Einstein's theory of general relativity, Dark matter, black holes, Dark energy, elementary particles, the accelerated expansion of the universe, and the building blocks of space-time. This wonderful and exciting book is optimal for physics graduate students and researchers. Not since James Maxwell's celebrated best-seller a dynamical theory of the electromagnetic theory and Albert Einstein:Relativity: The Special and The General Theory A Popular Exposition has physics been so vividly, intelligently and entertainingly revealed. This is a First Edition to Atoms of Space.
