القوى الأربع الأساسية في الكون

by Paul C.W. Davies, بول ديفيس, هاشم أحمد محمد (Translator)

يهتم هذا الكتاب بما يمكن اعتباره أهم انتصار للفيزياء الحديثة، حيث يقدم نظرية كاملة عن الكون بما فيه نشأته؛ إذ ظهرت هذه الإمكانيات المذهلة نتيجة لسلسلة من التطورات العظيمة في معرفتنا بالقوى الأساسية التي تحكم جميع الأنشطة الطبيعية. وتكشف الأبحاث العلمية الأخيرة عن وجود قوة متسيدة عليا، وجميع القوى الأخرى ما هي إلا مظهر منها

it is not Paul Davies' fault that i loathe subatomic particles* and the last thing i want to think about are neutrinos. i'm sure this is all thrilling to someone else but i'm only here so i can move past it and understand astrophysics.

*i'm quite fond of electrons & the uncertainty principle

*

okay it picked up in the second half, with all that stuff about symmetries.

Although a little dated with all of the recent advances in physics, I found it fascinating to read about the forecasts of the discovery of gravitational waves, etc. This book would serve as a nice primer to someone just starting out in studying particle physics.

Wonderful summary of everything that was known about particle physics in 1980. You should probably get a more recent edition, though.
