Description
CAN QUANTUM PHYSICS REALLY BE FOR DUMMIES? String Theory For Dummies 2nd Edition is written so that anyone can understand the basics of string theory. No quantum physics pre-requisites here! Build a foundation of physics knowledge, understand the various string theories and the math behind them, and hear what the opponents to string theory have to say. Learn close to everything about this ‘theory of everything’ and invest in your inner physicist. INSIDE: The basics of physics The scientists behind string theory Real life example Approachable math equations UPDATES: Large Hadron Collider - The Large Hadron Collider was being built when the book was originally written. The section related to it will need to be updated, including a substantial change in Chapter 12. It might also make sense to pull out a whole chapter just on the LHC and what it's done over the last decade. Higgs Boson - The information about the Higgs Boson will need to be updated with information discovered in research at the Large Hadron Collider. Gravitational Waves - Gravitational waves were first detected in 2015 (resulting in the 2015 Nobel prize), which would result in changes in both Chapters 9 & 12, at least. Sparticles - The lack of discovery of supersymmetric particles at the Large Hadron Collider would need to be covered, as well as the implications that these particles haven't been discovered at the energy levels being studied.
