Muller, R. (Richard)
Summary: "A monumental work on the flow of time, from the universe's creation to "Now," by the best-selling author of Physics for Future Presidents. "Now" is a simple concept--you're reading this sentence now. Yet a real definition of "now" has eluded even the great Einstein. We know that time stretches and is affected by gravity and velocity. Yet, as eminent physicist Richard A. Muller points out, it...

Summary: "Physics is the study of the natural world, an experimental science that lies at the heart of all other sciences. It is an effort to make sense of the world at a fundamental level, to unify and describe observable physical phenomena. 'Classical' refers to the pre-20th century developments in physics, a reductionistic, 'realist' approach that continues to be one of the most productive and...
