About The Book
When a ship’s surgeon during a routine episode of bloodletting noticed that the sailors’ blood was brighter in the tropics than in the north, he hypothesized that heat was a form of energy. When a young boy tried to visualize how a beam of light would look like by riding alongside it at the same speed, he began thinking along lines that eventually changed our views of space and time. When a student caught hay fever and went to recover on Heligoland, he started a major revolution in physics. These are but just some of the stories covered in this entertaining book that deals with the history of physics from the end of the 19th-century to about 1930. « Quips, Quotes and Quanta » (2nd Edition) is unique in that it contains anecdotes on physicists creating new ideas.
