We are proud to announce that our associate, geophysicist, and educator Phonse Fagan has recently published two books focused on explaining “deep physics” to the life-long learner or budding young scientist. The book descriptions are copied below.
Mind Openers 1.0: A Conceptual Review of Modern Physics chronicles how the astounding discoveries of modern physics have fundamentally changed our understanding of reality. Using a mix of historical narrative, intuitive analogies, and graphics - the book explores, explains, and wonders at meaning of our deepest theories.
Key topics include:
• History of science
• Relativity
• Quantum theory
• String Theory
• Loop quantum gravity
• Cosmology
Mind Openers 2.0: A Conceptual Reinterpretation of Modern Physics takes a fresh look at relativity, cosmology, and quantum theory by imagining a “sandbox universe”, in which space and time are treated as tangible and visualizable phenomena. In addition to providing an intuitive feel for the physics, the model makes a number of acutely unexpected predictions.
Key topics include:
• Newtonian physics
• Relativity
• Quantum theory
• Entanglement
• Multiverse
• Metaphysics
The books are available in hardcopy or Kindle format, and accessible via the Amazon website through these links: Mind Openers 1.0 and Mind Openers 2.0 . For more information, you may also visit the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/AlphonsusFagan
Our team congratulates Phonse on completing this challenging project and wishes him success in further endeavors and book sales.
