Void : the strange physics of nothing / James Owen Weatherall. by Weatherall, James Owen, author. New Haven : Yale University Press : Templeton Press, c2016. Subjects Physics -- Philosophy.   Space and time.   Nothing (Philosophy) ISBN:  9780300209983 (hardcover : alk. paper) : 0300209983 (hardcover : alk. paper) Series:  Foundational questions in science. Description:  196 pages ; 23 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  James Owen Weatherall's previous book, The Physics of Wall Street, was a New York Times best-seller and named one of Physics Today's five most intriguing books of 2013. In his newest volume, he takes on a fundamental concept of modern physics: nothing. The physics of stuff--protons, neutrons, electrons, and even quarks and gluons--is at least somewhat familiar to most of us. But what about the physics of nothing? Isaac Newton thought of empty space as nothingness extended in all directions, a kind of theater in which physics could unfold. But both quantum theory and relativity tell us that Newton's picture can't be right. Nothing, it turns out, is an awful lot like something, with a structure and properties every bit as complex and mysterious as matter. In his signature lively prose, Weatherall explores the very nature of empty space--and solidifies his reputation as a science writer to watch.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 530.1 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.1 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 530.1 We Checked In Add Copy to MyList
