How can fundamental particles exist as waves in the vacuum? How can
such waves have particle properties such as inertia? What is behind
the notion of “virtual” particles? Why and how do particles exert
forces on one another? Not least: What are forces anyway? These are
some of the central questions that have intriguing answers in Quantum
Field Theory and the Standard Model of Particle Physics.
Unfortunately, these theories are highly mathematical, so that most
people - even many scientists - are not able to fully grasp their
meaning. This book unravels these theories in a conceptual manner,
using more than 180 figures and extensive explanations and will
provide the nonspecialist with great insights that are not to be found
in the popular science literature.
