商品描述
How can fundamental particles exist as waves in the vacuum? How can such waves have particle properties such as inertia? What is behind the notion of "virtual" particles? Why and how do particles exert forces on one another? Not least: What are forces anyway? These are some of the central questions that have intriguing answers in Quantum Field Theory and the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Unfortunately, these theories are highly mathematical, so that most people - even many scientists - are not able to fully grasp their meaning. This book unravels these theories in a conceptual manner, using more than 180 figures and extensive explanations and will provide the nonspecialist with great insights that are not to be found in the popular science literature.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
基本粒子如何能在真空中以波的形式存在？這些波如何能具有慣性等粒子特性？「虛」粒子的概念背後是什麼？粒子為什麼以及如何相互施加力？最重要的是：力到底是什麼？這些都是量子場論和粒子物理標準模型中一些引人入勝的核心問題。遺憾的是，這些理論高度數學化，因此大多數人——甚至許多科學家——無法完全理解其意義。本書以概念性方式解釋這些理論，使用超過180幅圖示和詳細的解釋，將為非專業人士提供在流行科學文獻中無法找到的深刻見解。
作者簡介
Wouter J.M. Schmitz, born 1970, studied physics in Amsterdam. He worked at CERN for an assignment at the Spin Muon Collaboration (SMC) and later as a summer student at a LEP experiment. He graduated at Nikhef Amsterdam in 1994. He has subsequently worked in IT and also holds an MBA degree. Today, Wouter works as a leading digital architect, retaining nonetheless a deep and informed interest in conceptual problems in physics.
