This book pieces together the jigsaw of Einstein’s journey to discovering special relativity. Lacking notes from this critical period, it explores his creative process, Poincaré’s parallel work, and the paradoxes of the revolutionary theory.
Discover how quantum mechanics shapes nanotechnology, material science, and quantum computing. This book breaks down complex ideas, exploring quantum tunneling, quantum dots, and graphene. See how abstract concepts blend theory and real-world application to transform our world.
The Genesis of the Second Scientific Revolution
Scientific revolutions are not born from “great geniuses,” but from clashes of practices. This book reveals the common origin of the Quantum and Relativistic revolutions: a skirmish between mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics, first addressed by Planck and Einstein.
