商品描述
This book provides a unified overview of "modern physics" -- combining its foundational pillars: relativity, quantum physics and gravity -- and takes the reader on a tour of fundamental physics, through structural, historical and biographical perspectives. The book presents a "big picture" of physics, as well as its completion in terms of a new vision of the quantum theory of space, time, matter and energy.
Chapters explore the overarching and unfinished structure of fundamental physics, defined via the three fundamental constants of physics (the velocity of light, the gravitational constant and the Planck constant).
The book also celebrates the centenary of quantum mechanics, and the apparent conceptual conflict between quantum theory and the deepest theory of spacetime physics, Einstein's general theory of relativity, and the resolution of that conflict in a new ("gravitized quantum") view of the problem of quantum gravity.
This book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of physics, professional physicists and scientists from other disciplines, as well as a general audience of non-professionals interested in the topic.
Key features:
- Presents a cohesive and accessible overview of fundamental physics and its worldview
- Intertwines historical and biographical perspectives with scientific aspects.
- Discusses a timely and cutting-edge topic at the forefront of research and discussion

商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了「現代物理學」的統一概述，結合了其基礎支柱：相對論、量子物理和重力，並帶領讀者從結構、歷史和傳記的角度探索基礎物理學。這本書呈現了物理學的「大圖景」，以及在空間、時間、物質和能量的量子理論新視野下的完整性。
各章節探討了基礎物理學的整體結構和未完成的部分，這些結構是通過三個基本物理常數（光速、重力常數和普朗克常數）來定義的。
本書還慶祝量子力學的百年紀念，以及量子理論與時空物理學最深層理論——愛因斯坦的廣義相對論之間的明顯概念衝突，並在一種新的（「重力化量子」）觀點中解決了這一衝突，探討量子重力問題。
這本書將吸引物理學的本科生和研究生、專業物理學家以及來自其他學科的科學家，還有對該主題感興趣的一般非專業讀者。
主要特點：
- 提供基礎物理學及其世界觀的連貫且易於理解的概述
- 將歷史和傳記視角與科學方面交織在一起
- 討論一個及時且前沿的主題，位於研究和討論的最前沿
