Quantum Physics, Mini Black Holes, and the Multiverse Debunking Common Misconceptions in Theoretical Physics /[electronic resource] :by Yasunori Nomura, Bill Poirier, John Terning ; edited by Farzad Nekoogar. - 1st ed. 2018. - XIV, 212 p. 190 illus., 71 illus. in color.online resource. - Multiversal Journeys,2364-1096. - Multiversal Journeys,.

Preface -- 1 Misconceptions about Space-Time and Particle Physics -- 2 Misconceptions in Quantum Physics -- 3 Misconceptions in Cosmology -- Glossary -- About the Authors -- Index.

"Modern physics is rife with provocative and fascinating ideas, from quantum mechanics to the multiverse. But as interesting as these concepts are, they are also easy to understand. This book, written with deft hands by true experts in the field, helps to illuminate some of the most important and game-changing ideas in physics today." Sean M. Carroll "The Multiversal book series is equally unique, providing book-length extensions of the lectures with enough additional depth for those who truly want to explore these fields, while also providing the kind of clarity that is appropriate for interested lay people to grasp the general principles involved. " Lawrence M. Krauss This book explores, explains and debunks some common misconceptions about quantum physics, particle physics, space-time, and Multiverse cosmology. It seeks to separate science from pseudoscience. The material is presented in layperson-friendly language, followed by additional technical sections which explain basic equations and principles. This feature is very attractive to non-expert readers who nevertheless seek a deeper understanding of the theories, and wish to explore beyond just the basic description.
