Synopsis

You never knew that theoretical physics could be so simple! In this exciting and significant book, Andrew Thomas reveals how all unifications in physics have been based on incredibly simple ideas.

Using a logical approach, Thomas explains how the great twentieth-century theories of relativity and quantum mechanics share a common base and how they can be linked using an idea so simple that anyone can understand it.

An idea which is so simple that it has been hidden in plain sight.

About Andrew Thomas

Andrew Thomas studied physics in the James Clerk Maxwell Building at Edinburgh University and received his doctorate from Swansea University. He is the creator of What Is Reality?, one of the most popular Web sites dealing with questions of the fundamentals of physics.

Goodreads review by Nicola

This is a great start to those wanting to learn more about Quantum mechanics and relativity. It’s written in a way that takes out the ‘ahh what!? I’ll never understand this!’ Into ‘oh it’s a confusing concept but I think I’m starting to get bits of it now’ as it strips back complication to foundatio......more

Goodreads review by Tommy

Interesting point of view As a theoretical physicist, I have enjoyed the reading of this small book. It shows an unconventional approach to the basis of a possible Unification theory. Exploring foundational aspects of GR and Quantum Mechanics in order to achieve an initial connection between them, t......more

Goodreads review by Muneel

So having taken a course in basic quantum mechanics and general relativity, and having some knowledge of string theory... I realized i didn't understand any of it outside of answering questions on an exam. This book builds up QM, GR, and SR from the ground. I relearned a lot, and made connections be......more

Ever wondered why quantum physics, the theory of relativity were always portrayed as complex things that are only to be understood by mathematical geniuses? Well, the underlying theories of the universe should not be so complicated; rather must be based on a fundamental principle that is so simple t......more
