Publisher's Synopsis
No formulas - no math Ideal for teachers - because it presents a logical sequence for your lesson plansIdeal for home schoolers - because it's fun for the beginner... or any non-scientist, youngster or adult. This 3 volume series is like a mystery story - atomic physics, photons, quantum, relativity... all without formulas or complicated language. What kinds of questions were being asked "back then"?* Why were proposed answers strange to our modern ears? Were any of their answers true? What kinds of experiments did they use to help find answers? Volume 1 The Universe is Made Up of "Stuff" introduces the beginnings of scientific inquiry into the makeup of the "stuff" of our universe. Why did they get so much wrong? Volume 2 The Universe Doesn't Make Any Sense introduces strange new ideas of matter and energy in Einstein's two Relativity theories, Heisenberg's notion that everything we can try to measure will always give us uncertain results, and that every solid thing we encounter is made up mostly of empty space. Volume 3 The Theory of Everything introduces some of the current ideas that seek to explain in one grand, complete explanation of what matter and energy are. You'll come to also understand why we don't know it all yet.
