For thousands of years mankind has tried to understand nature. Exploring the world on all scales with instruments of ever more ingenuity, we have been able to unravel some of the great mysteries that surround us. While collecting an overwhelming multitude of observational facts, we discovered fundamental laws that govern the structure and evolution of physical reality. We know that nature speaks to us in the language of mathematics. In this language most of our basic understanding of the physical world can be expressed in an unambiguous and concise way. The most artificial language turns out to be the most natural of all. The laws of nature correspond to equations. These equations are the icons of knowledge that mark crucial turning points in our thinking about the world we happen to live in. They form the symbolic representation of most of what we know, and as such constitute an important and robust part of our culture. Publication coincides with the World Year of Physics: www.wyp2005.nl. This beautifully designed book deserves a place on the coffee table ... Sander Bais confides the reader in the exciting secrets of the laws of nature, and does so in a clear, surprisingly poetic language. The Equations is a catalogue. A catalogue that belongs to an exhibition of 17 typographic works of art - which gallery will frame them and hang them on the wall? The formulas, displayed in white symbols on a bright red background, are of an untouchable beauty. 'Untouchable icons' - NRC Handelsblad. The Equations is an absolute feast for everyone who is interested in what physicists have to say about the structure of the world and the beauty that emanates from this. It is a jewel of knowledge, written with love for the field but also with a great compassion for the reader. 'Knowledge smoothly surpasses the fear of formulas' - de Volkskrant.

Seit Jahrtausenden versuchen wir, die Natur zu verstehen. Wir konnten einige der grossen Mysterien enträtseln, die uns umgeben, indem wir den Makro- und Mikrokosmos mit immer raffinierteren Werkzeugen untersuchen. Nicht nur, dass wir dabei eine überwältigende Vielfalt an Fakten gesammelt haben, wir enthüllten sogar Grundgesetze, welche die Struktur und Entwicklung der physikalischen Realität steuern. Insbesondere lernten wir aus diesen Beobachtungen, dass die Natur sich uns in der Sprache der Mathematik mitteilt. Die künstlichste aller Sprachen wird so zur natürlichsten. Die Gesetze stellen sich uns als Gleichungen dar, vielleicht der kompakteste und eindeutigste Ausdruck menschlichen Wissens. Dieses Buch ist ein Reiseführer zu den Gleichungen, den Meilensteinen des Wissens, die entscheidende Wendepunkte unseres Verstädnisses markieren. Wir wandern vom Herzstück der klassischen Physik, den Gesetzen von Newton und Maxwell, einerseits zu Einsteins scharfsinnigen Erkenntnissen über die Struktur von Raum und Zeit, und andererseits zu den Gleichungen von Schrödinger und Dirac und dem Standardmodell der Elementarteilchenphysik, das die Türen zum Mikrokosmos öffnete. Am Ende stehen wir vor den Super-Strings als mögliche Grundlage einer allumfassenden Theorie. Sander Bais ist ein führender theoretischer Physiker an der Universität Amsterdam. Er konzentriert sich in seiner Forschung auf Probleme der Elementarteilchenphysik, von der Quantenfeldtheorie bis zur Stringtheorie, allerdings macht er gerne Ausflüge in benachbarte Gebiete. Sein spezielles Talent liegt darin, Physik einem breiteren Publikum zugänglich zu machen. Seine Fähigkeit, komplexe Fakten verständlich darzustellen, erlaubte es ihm, die wesentlichen Aussagen der Wissenschaft vielen mitzuteilen. In diesem Buch nimmt er den Leser auf eine Reise mit, welche die Schönheit und die Bedeutung der Gleichungen enthüllt, die die Grundlage unseres Wissens der physikalischen Welt sind.

Quantum Physics is the solid basis of most of our understanding of nature and has been the driver of many technological advances. The trilogy Power of the Invisible: The Quantessence of Reality gives a coherent account of this huge domain of knowledge, which is linked to some fifty Nobel prizes and is one of the greatest scientific achievements of the twentieth century. This quantum story follows three lines in parallel: a pictorial, an explanatory and a mathematical one.
