The New Physics and Its Evolution


Lu par LibriVox Volunteers

(4.2 stars; 5 reviews)

The end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century marked a new era in the study of physics. It seemed as though everything that was thought to be known was being called into question. This book attempts to summarize some of the most critical discoveries and theories in the decade or so leading up to its publication in a relatively non-technical fashion, and provides insight into our understanding of the world in the midst of the modern physics revolution. - Summary by Patrick Wells

Critiques

excellent reference material recommended reading


(5 stars)

it's very interesting to listen to this book in hindsight as so many discoveries have occurred in the realm of physics and in particular the subatomic world. I also found it interesting that it discussed sending telegraph through the ground as this was a science that Nikola Tesla was trying to invent. I enjoyed this book very much and the readers were excellent
