Order from Force : A Natural History of the Vacuum Paperback / softback
by Jeffrey H Williams
Part of the IOP Concise Physics series
Paperback / softback
Description
The present theme concerns the forces of nature, and what investigations of these forces can tell us about the world we see about us.
The story of these forces is long and complex, and contains many episodes that are not atypical of the bulk of scientific research, which could have achieved greater acclaim 'if only...'.The intention of this book is to introduce ideas of how the visible world, and those parts of it that we cannot observe, either because they are too small or too large for our scale of perception, can be understood by consideration of only a few fundamental forces.
The subject in these pages will be the authority of the commonly termed, laws of physics, which arise from the forces of nature, and the corresponding constants of nature (for example, the speed of light, c, the charge of the electron, e, or the mass of the electron, me).
