In addition some of Einstein's philosophical thoughts are explored and contrasted with our modern views. Written in an accessible yet rigorous style Jonathan Allday a highly accomplished writer brings his trademark clarity and engagement to these fascinating subjects which underpin so much of modern physics. Features: Restricted use of advanced mathematics making the book suitable for post - 16 students and undergraduates Contains discussions of key modern developments in quantum gravity and the latest developments in the field including results from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational - Wave Observatory (LIGO) Accompanied by appendices on the CRC Press website featuring detailed mathematical arguments for key derivations
