书籍简介

这本插图丰富的物理学年表包含250多个简短、有趣和发人深省的条目。除了探索暗能量、平行宇宙、多普勒效应、上帝粒子和麦克斯韦妖等引人入胜的话题外，这本书的时间线还延伸到了数十亿年前假设的大爆炸和数万亿年前的“量子复活”时代。这次再版包括四个新条目：2012年（希格斯玻色子的发现），2015年（引力波），2019年（黑洞的图像）和2023年（银河系中微子图）。它还以扩展的介绍和更新为特色，贯穿全书。

This richly illustrated chronology of physics contains more than 250 short, entertaining, and thought-provoking entries. In addition to exploring such engaging topics as dark energy, parallel universes, the Doppler effect, the God particle, and Maxwell's demon, the book's timeline extends back billions of years to the hypothetical Big Bang and forward trillions of years to a time of “quantum resurrection.” This reissue includes four new entries: 2012 (Discovery of the Higgs Boson), 2015 (Gravitational Waves), 2019 (First Image of a Black Hole), and 2023 (Milky Way Neutrino Map). It also features an expanded introduction and updates throughout the book.
