"Part fiction, part overview of 'Aha!' moments in the forward march of physics, Only the Longest Threads takes readers dramatically through scientific fields such as quantum field theory, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory. Each idea or concept is explored in an inventive chapter, each told from a different firstperson narrator; the faux emails, letters, and diary entries take place from 1728 to the present day."Boing Boing"Science is done by real human beings, with human concerns. Only the Longest Threads tells a story that conveys the human side of science in a way that is as moving as it is accurate."Sean Carroll, theoretical physicist at Caltech and author of The Particle at the End of the UniverseOnly the Longest Threads will thrill readers with its dramatic and lucid accounts of the great breakthroughs in the history of physicsclassical mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, and string theory, each from the viewpoint of a (fictional) witness to the events.Tasneem Zehra Husain reimagines the pivotal moments in the history of physics when radical new theories shifted our perception of the universe, and our place in it. Husain immerses the reader in the immediacy and excitement of the discoveriesand she guides us as we begin to understand the underlying science and to grasp the revolutionary step forward each of these milestones represents.
