Description
How close are scientists to the theory of everything? What is the Higgs boson and why is it talked about so much? Have you always been intrigued by astrophysics but didn't have the chance to understand it? Internationally successful scientist Kateřina Falk writes about accelerators, lasers, and not only earthly contemporary discoveries in physics. The potential of various forms of life-giving carbon, the exploration of newly discovered planets, or the use of particle accelerators are just a fraction of the topics in applied physics that we commonly encounter in the media. In the book, the author presents the principles of sophisticated scientific devices, but also demonstrates the significance of theoretical discoveries from classical and quantum mechanics and their impact on everyday life through many examples. The last twenty years have brought a true bounty of novelties to the world of physics, from which the book selects the most significant. It also raises the question of where physical progress is leading humanity as a whole.
