Betsy Devine
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Betsy Devine (born 1946) is an American journalist, author and blogger. She earned a master's degree in engineering from Princeton University, and according to her self-description, has "many years of immersion in geek sociology, including both Slashdot and Wikipedia flame wars". She is co-author, with husband Frank Wilczek, of Longing for the Harmonies, an appreciation of modern physics; and also, with biologist Joel E. Cohen, of Absolute Zero Gravity, a collection of science jokes, poems, and stories.

Chromodynamique Quantique
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. La chromodynamique quantique (ou QCD, de l'anglais Quantum ChromoDynamics), est une théorie physique qui décrit l'interaction forte, l'une des forces fondamentales. Elle fut proposée en 1973 par H. David Politzer, Frank Wilczek et David Gross pour comprendre la structure des hadrons (c'est-à-dire d'une part les baryons comme les protons, neutrons et particules similaires, et d'autre part les mésons). Ils reçurent le prix Nobel de physique en 2004 pour ces travaux. Elle utilise la théorie quantique des champs pour rendre compte de l'interaction entre quarks et gluons. D'après cette théorie, les quarks (et les antiquarks correspondants) sont confinés dans les particules qu'ils constituent et possèdent une propriété nommée ' couleur ' bleue, verte ou rouge, analogue à la charge électrique de la force électrostatique. Un autre principe fondamental de la théorie est qu'une particule constituée de quarks doit toujours avoir une couleur résultante blanche.

David Gross
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. David Jonathan Gross is an American particle physicist and string theorist. Along with Frank Wilczek and David Politzer, he was awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery of asymptotic freedom. He is currently the director and holder of the Frederick W.

Hugh David Politzer
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hugh David Politzer (born 31 August 1949) is a theoretical physicist from the United States with Slovak ancestors. He shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics with David Gross and Frank Wilczek for their discovery of asymptotic freedom in quantum chromodynamics. Politzer was born in New York City to a Jewish family. He graduated from the Bronx High School of Science in 1966, received his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 1969, and his PhD in 1974 from Harvard University, where his graduate advisor was Sidney Coleman.

Frank Wilczek: 50 Years Of Theoretical Physics
Frank Wilczek is one of the foremost theoretical physicists of the past half-century. He has made several fundamental contributions that shape our understanding of high energy physics, cosmology, condensed matter physics, and statistical physics. In all these fields his many discoveries continue to play a key role in shaping the direction of modern theoretical physics.Among Wilczek's major achievements is the discovery of asymptotic freedom, which predicts and explains the ultraviolet behavior of non-abelian gauge theories. The axion, which he co-discovered and named, has emerged as the prevalent candidate for explaining the origin of dark matter in the Universe. His invention of color-flavor locking explains chiral symmetry breaking in high density quantum chromodynamics. His introduction of fractional statistics and anyons are pivotal to our understanding of the fractional quantum Hall effect and form the building blocks of topological quantum computing. His invention of the time crystal concept has catalyzed extensive investigations of dynamical phases of physical systems.Frank Wilczek received the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of asymptotic freedom. He is also the recipient of several Prizes and honorary awards including the MacArthur Fellowship, the Lorentz Medal of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Lilienfeld Prize of the American Physical Society, the High Energy and Particle Physics Prize of the European Physical Society, and the King Faisal International Prize for Science of the King Faisal Foundation. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He is also a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the Royal Academy of Sciences in Sweden.He is currently the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at MIT Center for Theoretical Physics. He also holds a professorship at Stockholm University, is a Distinguished Professor at Arizona State University, and is the founding director of the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute and Chief Scientist of the Wilczek Quantum Center at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.This volume serves as a tribute to Frank Wilczek's legendary scientific contributions, commemorating his 70th birthday and the first 50 years of his career as a theoretical physicist. The contributors include several of his PhD students, close collaborators, and both past and present colleagues.

Fundamentals
DIE ZEHN PRINZIPIEN DER MODERNEN PHYSIK, DIE JEDER KENNEN SOLLTE Fundamentals handelt von den grundlegenden Erkenntnissen, die wir beim Studium der Natur gewinnen können. Zehn Schlüssel zur Wirklichkeit, so Physik-Nobelpreisträger Frank Wilczek, geben uns Auskunft darüber, wie wir Menschen Teil des großen Ganzen sind.Dieses Buch, geschrieben von einem der großen Physiker unserer Zeit, handelt von den zehn fundamentalen Prinzipen, die unsere Welt im Innersten zusammenhalten. Es wurde mit dem Ziel verfasst, die zentralen Botschaften der modernen Physik so einfach wie möglich darzustellen, ohne es an Genauigkeit fehlen zu lassen. Dabei geht es um weit mehr als um bloße Fakten, so faszinierend diese auch sein mögen. Es geht auch um die Denkweise, die es uns ermöglicht, diese Fakten überhaupt zu entdecken; sie ist selbst eine große Entdeckung. Ein Blick in den klaren Nachthimmel genügt, um den verschwenderischen Reichtum wahrzunehmen, der die Natur charakterisiert. Es gibt jede Menge Raum, Zeit, Materie und Energie. Dieser Fülle steht eine große Sparsamkeit gegenüber, was die Bausteine und Gesetze angeht, die das ungeheure Universum, aber auch unsere sehr viel kleineren Körper in Gang halten. Frank Wilczek stellt auf zugängliche Weise dar, welches diese Prinzipien sind und wie sie funktionieren, was wir darüber wissen und warum wir es wissen. Zugleich nimmt er uns auf eine Reise in die Zukunft mit und öffnet unseren Blick dafür, was wir vielleicht schon bald begreifen werden. Unser Verständnis der Natur wächst immer noch und verändert sich. Wir Menschen sind nur ein Teil der Natur, aber jener, in dem sie zur Erkenntnis ihrer selbst gelangt. Was wir alle über die moderne Physik wissen sollten Das wichtigste Wissen der modernen Physik - erklärt von dem NOBELPREISTRÄGER Frank Wilczek 'Wilczek entpuppt sich in diesem Buch als ein wahrer Visionär.'

Fundamenteel
Tien sleutels tot de werkelijkheidNobelprijswinnaar Frank Wilczek presenteert met aanstekelijk plezier de tien grondbeginselen van de moderne natuurkunde die ons doen begrijpen hoe de wereld werkt en hoe wij daar als mensen in passen. Hij scheidt feit van fictie, geeft een glimp van mogelijke toekomstige ontdekkingen en laat ons de werkelijkheid in een nieuw licht zien, groter, voller, en met meer verwondering dan ooit. ‘De mens, schrijft Nobelprijswinnaar (2004) en theoretisch fysicus Frank Wilczek in zijn prachtig bedachtzame Fundamenteel, is tegelijk klein en groot. Klein vergeleken bij het onvoorstelbaar veel grotere universum, waarvan eigenlijk niet eens vaststaat dat het ook het enige is. Klein ook omdat ons leven een oogwenk duurt in de eeuwigheid van het heelal. Maar ook groot in termen van biljoenen atomen, moleculen en hersencellen die dat universum heel behoorlijk lijken te begrijpen.’ — de Volkskrant ‘Helder en meeslepend.’ — Scientific American ‘Een ware visionair.’ — The Times
