A Journey Into Modern Physics - Part Two: From the birth of the universe to the end of the universe Kindle Edition

Discover the mysterious universe – From Birth to Demise.A Journey into Modern Physics Part 2 – From the birth of the universe to its ultimate demiseThere is also an adaptation of Part 2, that younger readers, aged 16 to 18, may find more appealing entitled;A Journey into Modern Physics Part 2 - LIGHTPart 1, zoomed in on the tiniest parts of the universe—quarks, atoms and electrons. Now, in Part 2, we flip the lens and go cosmic. We’ll take you on a wild ride through the birth, evolution, and possible end of the universe itself.You don’t need to be a physics expert, just someone who enjoys asking deep questions and following where the answers lead.Here’s what you’ll explore in this next phase of your journey:Chapter 7: What is known about the birth of the universe?We start at the beginning of time and follow the universe’s evolution to the moment the very first stars lit up and on to the birth of galaxies, meeting cosmic beasts like neutron stars and black holes.Chapter 8: How does nuclear fusion work?Nuclear fusion—the process that powers stars and forges many of the universe's elements. But wait—does fusion really use E = mc² to release energy? You might be surprised to find out what actually happens.Chapter 9: What is radioactivity & nuclear fission all about?We look at radioactivity, neutrinos (products of radioactivity), and nuclear fission—from the science behind power plants to the terrifying power of atomic bombs. And again, E = mc² is not the hero here either—binding energy is.Chapter 10: It's all relative?In Einstein’s special relativity, time and space do get weird. You’ll see how light’s speed is always constant, how time can slow down, and how particles called muons helped prove it.Chapter 11: How can you model events in space-time?With the help of Minkowski space-time, we’ll map how events in the universe can look different to different people—and still make perfect sense. It’s all about relativity made visual.Chapter 12: General relativity.Yes—and it does! We’ll break down Einstein’s general relativity, where gravity isn’t treated as a force, but bends space-time itself. Discover the genius behind one of the greatest theories ever, and how Einstein went viral—even without the internet.Chapter 13: What is Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance' all about?Welcome to the weirdest part of quantum physics: entanglement. Einstein's “spooky action at a distance”. We'll also explore the idea of multiverses and whether wormholes could be quantum links across space-time.Chapter 14: How will the universe end?From absolute zero to holographic black holes, we wrap up part 2 with thermodynamics, the science of heat and energy. Could the universe fade into cold nothingness? Or end in something more dramatic? The answers are fascinating—and a little chilling.Why read Part 2?Because this is the story of everything. From the dramatic birth of time and space to the mind-bending theories of how it all might end, this book shows you how physics explains the universe—and challenges everything you thought you knew.As with Part 1, the small amount of maths is kept manageable. If you’ve got a basic understanding of maths, you’ll be fine. And even if maths isn’t your thing, there’s still a ton of insight and wonder waiting for you.Each chapter starts with a big question—and everything is indexed, so you can skip straight to what grabs your curiosity most.If you want to learn more about the LIGHT series, or the main series, then go to our web site:www.modern-physics-journey.com, where you'll find loads of information about the content of the books.Get ready to go big—really big!
