Great Breakthroughs in Physics

How the Study of Matter and its Motion Changed the World

Robert Snedden
With its roots in ancient astronomy and attempts to understand the nature of matter, the development of physics has often hinged on individual breakthroughs. Robert Snedden describes these advances, using timelines and illustrations to clarify his explanations. Among the discoveries he discusses are Evangelista’s first barometer, Dalton’s atomic theory, Einstein’s theory of special relativity, and Copernicus’ groundbreaking heliocentric theory.
