## Description

The Evolution of Physics [Einstein, Albert, Infeld, Leopold] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Evolution of Physics

Review: Overall Brilliant - The book has three parts: classical physics, relativity, and quantum physics (there wasn't much particle physics or cosmology in 1938, after all). The classical treatment is an extended examination of Galilean invariance, and is both brilliant and nicely presented (without equations). The special relativity theory part explains the twin principles of inertial frames and the constancy of the speed of light. It is very nicely done, although it has to be mysterious for the reader when even the simplest algebra is off limits. The general relativity part is presented as the extension from inertial to arbitrary frames, from with gravity is introduced via the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass. I suspect this is mostly mysterious for the reader, but I'm not sure. The quantum section is the least successful. The authors center on particle energy discreteness, but do not really get into the strange and mysterious aspects of quantum mechanics. Nor do the explain spin, fermions, bosons, etc.
Review: Physics for everyone! - Probably one of the best introduction books to physics that i've ever read. The book explains the theoretical problems that physicists had to face throughout history and their solutions. It really puts the emphasis on the philosophical aspect of physics and the thought process that comes with it, without getting in too much to the technical part. I would consider this book a must for physics students, or generally, to anyone who always wanted to understand physics but had problems with the math... As for me, I think that this book could have been perfect if it would explain a little also the mathematic aspect, but nevertheless it's a good read!

*by N***E on March 2, 2015*

I bought this book mainly because of its citation value for the statement on page 92 about the importance of framing inquiry and research parameters before developing "the answer." Since grad school, I have privately questioned the cliche that "the questions are more important than the answers," which struck me as essentially nonsense. But Einstein's basic statement of this concept is so much more nuanced and sensible. Beyond page 92, I discovered a very readable and enjoyable book -- I only wish Hawkings was as transparent!
