A map of physics and its open questions

Understanding Physics surveys the field by introducing what its different branches study, how physicists build knowledge, and which questions remain unresolved. Its scope reaches from black holes and quantum mechanics to Einstein’s theories of relativity, presenting physics as both an established body of ideas and an ongoing investigation. The emphasis is on understanding the subject and its mysteries, rather than on instructions for carrying out physics problems.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults curious about physics and how scientific knowledge develops.
  • Readers seeking an introductory overview of topics including black holes, quantum mechanics, and relativity.
  • Budding physicists interested in questions that remain open in the field.

Book overview

Part of the best-selling "Understanding" series that brings to life the wide world of physics. Rather than explaining details about how to do physics, this book focuses on explaining what different branches of physics are about, how we know about them, and what mysteries remain for budding physicists to uncover. It doesn't shy away from the hard stuff, tackling black holes, quantum mechanics and even Einstein's theories of relativity.
