At the end of the 19th century, some physicists believed that the basic principles underlying their subject were already known, and that physics in the future would only consist of filling in the details. They could hardly have been more wrong. The 20th century saw the rise of quantum mechanics, relativity, cosmology, particle physics, and condensed-matter physics, among other fields. These subjects have fundamentally changed our understanding of space, time, and matter. They have also transormed daily life, inspiring a technological revolution that has included the development of radio, television, lasers, nuclear power, and computers. In this book, Helge Kragh presents a sweeping account of these extraordinary achievements of the 20th century.
