"Physics, the fundamental science of matter and energy, encompasses all levels of nature from the sub-atomic to the cosmic, and underlies much of the technology around us. Sidney Perkowitz provides an overview of how this pervasive science came to be and how it works: who funds it, how physicists think, and how physics supports the technology we all use. Presenting the theories and outcomes of pure and applied physics, he ranges from ideas of the Greek natural philosophers to modern quantum mechanics, and energy production. Considering its most consequential experiments, he also discusses the effects of physics on society, culture, and humanity's vision of its place in the universe."--Book flap.. 196992 Physics ; History 196990 Perkowitz, Sidney Author ddc BOOK 5815 Pontsho Maoko 5815 Pontsho Maoko 787102 787101 0 0 ddc 0 0 500 KWAML SUNDL Non_Fiction 2025-10-08 0 530 PERK 33228031084435 2025-10-08 2025-10-08 BOOK 0 0 ddc 0 0 500 KWAML SUNDL Non_Fiction 2025-10-08 0 530 PERK 33228031090211 2025-10-08 2025-10-08 BOOK
