This is the reason for A Briefer History: his wish to make its content more accessible to readers--as well as to bring it up-to-date with the latest scientific observations and findings. Purely technical concepts, such as the mathematics of chaotic boundary conditions, are gone. Conversely, subjects of wide interest that have now been given entire chapters of their own, including relativity, curved space, and quantum theory. This reorganization has allowed the authors to expand areas of recent progress, from string theory to exciting developments in the search for a unified theory of all the forces of physics.--From publisher description. 0 text unmediated volume lcc BK jderpo 2019-02-20 14:51:37 jderpo 2019-02-20 14:51:47 10873 10795 10795 0 0 ddc 0 0 BED BED BED 2025-12-21 523.1 H31b 2008 HS1609 2026-06-18 00:00:00 2025-12-21 BK
