{"product_id":"the-theory-of-almost-everything-robert-oerter-9780452287860","title":"The Theory of Almost Everything: The Standard Model, the Unsung Triumph of Modern Physics","description":"There are two scientific theories that, taken together, explain the entire universe. The first, which describes the force of gravity, is widely known: Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. But the theory that explains everything else--the Standard Model of Elementary Particles--is virtually unknown among the general public.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cb\u003eThe Theory of Almost Everything\u003c\/b\u003e, Robert Oerter shows how what were once thought to be separate forces of nature were combined into a single theory by some of the most brilliant minds of the twentieth century. Rich with accessible analogies and lucid prose, \u003cb\u003eThe Theory of Almost Everything\u003c\/b\u003e celebrates a heretofore unsung achievement in human knowledge--and reveals the sublime structure that underlies the world as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Oerter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0452287863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780452287860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Plume Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.69h x 5.21w x 0.72d","brand":"Robert Oerter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047756689663,"sku":"9780452287860","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9be0a3ff-c721-4019-9895-b9567c3c297b.jpg?v=1684992008","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-theory-of-almost-everything-robert-oerter-9780452287860","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
