{"product_id":"9789814338363","title":"FUNDAMENTAL CONSTANTS, THE: A Mystery of Physics","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe speed of light, the fine structure constant, and Newton's constant of gravity — these are just three among the many physical constants that define our picture of the world. Where do they come from? Are they constant in time and across space? In this book, physicist and author Harald Fritzsch invites the reader to explore the mystery of the fundamental constants of physics in the company of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, and a modern-day physicist. The conversation that the three scientists are imagined to have provides an entertaining introduction to the constants and covers topics ranging from atomic, nuclear, and particle physics to astrophysics and cosmology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Constants of Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElementary Interactions Elementary Interactions and Quantum Theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAtomic Nuclei and Particles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Accelerators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColorful Quarks and Gluons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Standard Model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Standard Model and the Natural Constants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Grand Unification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Garden of San Marino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn the Road to El Captain Beach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Esalen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Strange Big Bang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReadership:\u003c\/b\u003e General, students and researchers in physics.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"World Scientific Publishing Company, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185282269424,"sku":"9789814338363","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814338363_p0.jpg?v=1763690603","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814338363","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
