Die Evolution der Physik
Die Evolution der Physik (The Evolution of Physics) by Albert Einstein and Leopold Infeld explores how humanity’s understanding of the physical universe has developed over time. First published in 1938, the book follows the journey of scientific thought from classical mechanics and Newton’s laws to electromagnetism, relativity, and quantum theory.
To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle, requires creative imagination and marks real advance in science.
