  • Particles, Fields and Forces

    A Conceptual Guide to Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model

    by Wouter Schmitz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book provides unique and comprehensive conceptual explanations of quantum field theory and the standard model of particle physics. How can fundamental particles exist as waves in the vacuum? How can such waves have particle properties such as inertia? What is behind the notion of virtual particles? Why and how do particles exert forces on one another? Not least: What are forces anyway? These ... Read more

  • Understanding Relativity

    A Conceptual Journey Into Spacetime, Black Holes and Gravitational Waves

    by Wouter Schmitz ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book bridges the huge gap between popular science and mathematical treatments of Einstein's theories. It explains special and general relativity, gravity, black holes, and gravitational waves, also presenting current ideas about dark matter and dark energy. The explanations are entirely non-mathematical, using many color pictures and clear concepts. In this way, the reader is led to a much ... Read more
