Probing the Universe: A Geometrical View for Observers of Spacetime Physics

This book provides a fresh perspective on the relationships between gravitation, electrodynamics, and quantum physics. Designed for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers with a background in mathematical physics, it organizes key ideas into a series of paradigms inspired by the history of s...
