Adam Hart-Davis is widely regarded as one of Britain’s best science communicators. Here he traces the evolution of physics through 50 of its greatest experiments.
Structured chronologically, Schrödinger’s Cat starts with the earliest attempts by the ancients to explain astronomy and ends with the era of Big Science, involving supercomputers and the largest and most expensive experiments ever tried. From x-rays, radioactivity, and electrons to the impact of two world wars which produced radar and microwaves, tokamaks and nuclear power, and the space race which followed, Adam Hart-Davis presents the key developments in physics in clear, accessible language.
From Copernicus to Galileo, Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton, Einstein, Heisenberg and the Large Hadron Collider, this book features the scientists, results and implications of fifty of physics’ greatest experiments.
