SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book discusses, in clear non-technical language, the two major theories of twentieth-century physics: relativity and quantum mechanics. It is based on a course taught by the author, who aims to remove the mysteries that often surround the ideas of modern physics, and to show how modern scientists construct theories.
