Why is time relative to the observer?

Can an atomic particle exist in two places at once?

Is light a wave, a particle, or both?

Six Roads from Newton is a lively tour through six monumental developments in physics since Newton: wave theory, field theory, statistical physics, special relativity, quantum theory, and general relativity. Together these crucial discoveries formed the basis of the modern revolution in physics, shattering Newton's view of the universe, and leading the way to the mind-boggling and fascinating questions at the cutting edge of physics today.

With real-world examples that bring physics vividly to life, Edward Speyer explains each theoretical development, in-troducing the leading figures, their famous experiments, and a number of delightfully perplexing problems that have challenged physicists along the way--from the Paradox of the Three Polarizers to Maxwell's Demon and the infamous case of Schrodinger's Cat.

"Entertaining and stimulating reading." --Journal of Modern Optics EDWARD SPEYER teaches physics at California State University, Fullerton. He has thirty years' experience as a research physicist in industrial laboratories and has served as chief investigator for the National Science Foundation.
