Starting with a few electron-volts of atoms in the quantum world at low energies extending up to quantum gravity and beyond to the birth of the Universe, readers will experience the entire spectrum of fundamental modern theoretical physics, with one theory leading to another in an integrated unified manner. Energy considerations lead to the development of special and general relativity, quantum field theory, renormalization theory, modern quantum electrodynamics, electro-weak theory, the standard model of particle physics, grand unified theories, string theory, the current standard model of inflationary big bang theory, and even to the birth of the Higgs field, and in developments of quantum gravity. Unfortunately, due to strong specialization within their fields, students and many practicing physicists are exposed only to parts of the beautiful story of modern fundamental physics. Here the entire story is told! This is a must-read book for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, instructors and professionals who are interested in all aspects of fundamental modern theoretical physics and key historical moments in its development. 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 676 $a509 700 $aManoukian$b Edward B.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$011919 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910851988203321 996 $aHow Energy Considerations Have Shaped Our Fundamental Modern Theories of Physics$94322830 997 $aUNINA
