Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Why is the sky blue? What makes stars shine? Can a particle be in two places at once?Inside this 53-page encyclopaedia - beautifully sized at 6 x 9 inches - you will find the answers, and the extraordinary people who dared to ask. Written especially for high school students, this year-by-year guide covers every Nobel Prize in Physics from 1901 to 2023. From Roentgen's first X-ray of his wife's hand to the attosecond pulses that photograph electrons moving inside atoms, each entry explains the discovery, the human story, and why it still matters today."God does not play dice." - Albert EinsteinEinstein famously objected to the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. In the 1954 Nobel Prize entry (Max Born), the book explains that Born's statistical interpretation of the wave function - the square of the wave gives the probability of finding a particle - was deeply troubling to Einstein. He insisted that the universe must have hidden certainties, not fundamental randomness. Yet every experiment since has confirmed that nature does play dice. This quote captures the dramatic tension between classical intuition and quantum reality, a theme that runs through many Nobel-winning discoveries, from the uncertainty principle to Bell's inequality experiments."Reality is stranger than our intuitions - and the deepest truths require the deepest courage to pursue." - SK Karn (Foreword)This closing line from the foreword sums up the spirit of the entire book. Again and again, Nobel laureates discovered that the universe does not obey common sense. The Earth goes around the Sun, not the other way around. Time slows down at high speeds. A single electron can behave like a wave. The universe is expanding faster and faster. These truths were rejected, ridiculed, or ignored at first - Chandrasekhar's black hole limit was mocked, Bednorz and Mueller's high-temperature superconductors were met with disbelief, and the accelerating universe was double-checked for years before publication. The quote reminds young readers that asking hard questions and following the evidence - even when it feels strange - is the only path to genuine understanding.What you will find inside: Every Nobel Prize in Physics from 1901 to 2023 - year by yearLaureate names, countries, and the exact discoveryWhy each discovery matters: from X-rays and transistors to gravitational waves and grapheneSurprising human stories: the father-son duo who proved electrons are both particles and waves, the only person to win two Physics Nobels, the physicist who levitated a frog, and moreClear, engaging language - no advanced math requiredPerfect for high school students, curious adults, and anyone who wants to see how we learned what the universe is made of.Scroll up and begin your adventure through a century of Nobel-winning physics!

Hardbound. Condition: As New. New. This encyclopaedia has been compiled and edited to incorporate the concepts borrowed from the numerous branches of physics like mechanics (properties of matter) Thermal physics (heat and thermodynamics) light and sound (waves and oscillations) electricity and magnetism electrostatics modern physics nuclear physics quantum mechanics classical mechanics spectroscopy solid state physics biophysics environmental physics and other related fields. In this encyclopaedia the concepts have been somewhat encyclopaedic and described with well defined illustrations and analytically mathematic expressions. The concepts have been described in a lucid style with necessary invaluable background information. Throughout this encyclopaedia necessary cross reference system has been maintained to make the reader to understand each concept in a broader scientific contact. The information contained in this text is gleaned from internationally recognised resources. The presentation is marked by a style displaying maturity of writing and bristling with the lucidity and simplicity of the language used by the editor. This Encyclopaedia will prove to be of great value to the students and teachers of physics. This will also be useful to some extents to the scientists and engineers. 590 pp.…
