<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As we humans have expanded our horizons to see things vastly smaller, faster, larger, and farther than ever before, we have been forced to confront preconceptions born of the human experience and create wholly new ways of looking at the world around us. The theories of relativity and quantum physics were developed out of this need and have provided us with phenomenal, mind-twisting insights into the strange and exciting reality show of our universe.</p><p><i>Relativity and Quantum Physics For Beginners</i> is an entertaining and accessible introduction to the bizarre concepts that fueled the scientific revolution of the 20th century and led to amazing advances in our understanding of the universe.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Steven Manly</b> received an undergraduate degree from Pfeiffer College and a Ph.D. in high energy physics from Columbia University.
