In this book, the author leads the reader,
step by step and without any advanced mathematics, to a clear
understanding of the foundations of modern elementary particle physics
and cosmology. He also addresses current and controversial questions on
topics such as string theory. The book contains gentle introductions to
the theories of special and general relativity, and also classical and
quantum field theory. The essential aspects of these concepts are
understood with the help of simple calculations; for example, the force
of gravity as a consequence of the curvature of the space-time. Also
treated are the Big Bang, dark matter and dark energy, as well as the
presently known interactions of elementary particles: electrodynamics,
the strong and the weak interactions including the Higgs boson. Finally,
the book sketches as yet speculative theories: Grand Unification
theories, supersymmetry, string theory and the idea of additional
dimensions of space-time. Since no higher mathematical or physics
expertise is required, the book is also suitable for college and
university students at the beginning of their studies. Hobby astronomers
and other science enthusiasts seeking a deeper insight than can be
found in popular treatments will also appreciate this unique book.
