Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book provides an overview of ?modern physics? - relativity, quantum physics and gravity - taking readers through structural, historical and biographical perspectives. Readers will include university physics students, professional physicists and other scientists, and a general audience of non-professionals interested in the topic.
MoreLong description:
This book provides a unified overview of ?modern physics? - combining its foundational pillars: relativity, quantum physics and gravity - and takes the reader on a tour of fundamental physics, through structural, historical and biographical perspectives. The book presents a ?big picture? of physics, as well as its completion in terms of a new vision of the quantum theory of space, time, matter and energy.
Chapters explore the overarching and unfinished structure of fundamental physics, defined via the three fundamental constants of physics (the velocity of light, the gravitational constant and the Planck constant).
The book also celebrates the centenary of quantum mechanics, and the apparent conceptual conflict between quantum theory and the deepest theory of spacetime physics, Einstein?s general theory of relativity, and the resolution of that conflict in a new (?gravitized quantum?) view of the problem of quantum gravity.
This book will be of interest to undergraduate and graduate students of physics, professional physicists and scientists from other disciplines, as well as a general audience of non-professionals interested in the topic.
Key features:
- Presents a cohesive and accessible overview of fundamental physics and its worldview
- Intertwines historical and biographical perspectives with scientific aspects
- Discusses a timely and cutting-edge topic at the forefront of research and discussion
