This work begins with a summary of Newton's laws, which fundamentally changed our concepts about space, time, and motion. Speyer then explains six of the most important theoretical developments since Newton, including an introduction to the world of quantum theory.
"I recommend Speyer's Six Roads From Newton for entertaining and stimulating reading."----Journal of Modern Optics A lively tour through six great developments in physics since Newton Though he made his discoveries more than three centuries ago, all roads in modern physics lead back to Sir Isaac Newton. This book begins with a summary of Newton's laws, which fundamentally changed our concepts about space, time, and motion. Speyer then explains six of the most important theoretical developments since Newton, and how they have changed our understanding of the universe. EDWARD SPEYER (Irvine, California) teaches physics at the California State University. He has 30 years of experience as a research physicist in industrial laboratories and has served as chief investigator for the National Science Foundation.
