A GUIDED TOUR THROUGH SPACE AND TIME

Aimed specifically at the uninitiated this, in concise, short chapters, discusses the theories behind those achievements that have marked this as the atomic era. From matter and motion, to relativity, the enigma of light, specific relativity, time, space and time-space adjustments, conservation of mass and energy, general relativity, the logical possibilities of super dimensions, cosmogony, quantum theory, thermodynamics, electrons, it progresses to nuclear reactions, general dynamics and the still open end of finding the concepts for order in the world. A briefing which uses everyday terms for a maximum understanding, this should have value where it is needed.
