Theory of Physics, Volume 3

Physics at the speed of light, a different look on gravity, and delving into the quantum word. The Theory of Physics, Vol. 3 considers Albert Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, along with black holes and the quest for quantum gravity. The book will also cover the origins of quantum mechanics, from Planck's work on blackbody radiation and wave-particle duality. This book, intended for physics students and science enthusiasts alike, discusses on select topics of modern physics, such as relativity, astrophysics, thermodynamics and introductory quantum mechanics. The book also assumes readers are familiar with the first two volumes of The Theory of Physics and have experience with calculus.
