Basic Concepts of Modern Physics – Georg Unger (Paperback / Soft Cover)

Quanta, Particles, Relativity

Basic Concepts of Modern Physics ?is an essential introduction for all those who are interested in gaining a better understanding of modern physics. In this unique text, Georg Unger provides clear descriptions of the conceptual bases of twentieth-century physics, including quantum mechanics, particles, and relativity theory, as well as other aspects relating to key physical concepts to phenomena.

Recognizing that quantum mechanical phenomena occur at a boundary between the experienced world and a concurrent world of subnature that is not perceptible to the senses, Dr. Unger provides a radical, non-reductionist concept of modern physics that is open to spiritual understanding.

We should go into a short contemplation of certain habits of thinking and ask: What expresses itself in this adherence to the nineteenth-century idea of matter? To say it radically ?and thereby naturally be open to misunderstanding ?it is a weakness of thinking characteristic of our times. ? ? Georg ?Unger
