Jim Baggott: Mass: The quest to understand matter from Greek atoms to quantum fields

by Baggott, Jim

ISBN: 9780198759713

Published: 2017

Philosophy

Jim Baggott explores how our understanding of the nature of matter, and its fundamental property of mass, has developed, from the ancient Greek view of indivisible atoms to quantum mechanics, dark matter, the Higgs field, and beyond. He shows how the stuff of the universe is proving more elusive and uncertain than we ever imagined.
