The Fundamental Laws of Nature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789153136361)

Have you ever wondered whether the universe is infinite or finite-and if finite, what lies beyond its boundary? Or did you ask yourself how the world would look if you had an extraordinary microscope and could observe it at the finest scales? If such questions spark your curiosity, The Fundamental Laws of Nature is the book for you.

This book bridges the gap between popular science and physics textbooks, offering a deeper understanding than the former while keeping equations to a minimum compared to the latter. Beyond explaining the foundations of nature, beginning with space, time, and symmetries, it delves into the unresolved mysteries, guiding readers toward a path of complete understanding.

• How time, space, and symmetries shape the universe-and how they might emerge from even more fundamental concepts.
• The principles of special relativity, gauge theories, and the Standard Model of particle physics.
• Why the search for a unified "theory of everything" remains the grand objective of theoretical physics.
• Thought-provoking discussions on the nature of consciousness and free will.

Christian Ekstrand has a background as a researcher in mathematical physics and holds a PhD from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. His interests include the applications of mathematical methods, such as differential geometry and topology, to elementary particle physics. Christian has authored scientific articles and books across various disciplines such as physics, mathematics, finance, information technology, philosophy, and biology.

• Readers with a technical background who are captivated by the big questions: What is the nature of reality? What are the ultimate laws of nature?
• Students or professionals looking for a clear, conceptual overview of core physics ideas.
