This book explains - in simple terms and with almost no mathematics - the physics behind recent and glamorous discoveries in Cosmology, Quantum Mechanics, Elementary Particles (e.g. Higgs bosons) and Complexity Theory. En route it delves into the historical landmarks and revolutions that brought about our current understanding of the universe.

The book is written mainly for those with little scientific background, both college students and lay readers alike, who are curious about the world of modern physics. Unsolved problems are highlighted and the philosophical implications of the sometimes astounding modern discoveries are discussed. Along the way the reader gains an insight into the mindset and methodology of a physicist.

Industry Reviews

"This is an ambitious book which provides a general introduction to most of physics ... . Written for non-physicists, it provides a good overview of almost the entire field and is surprisingly well balanced, with all topics described at about the same level." (The Observatory, Vol. 137 (1258), June, 2017)
