Foundations of Modern Physics presents Max Planck’s Columbia University lectures from 1909, translated for modern readers.

It offers a clear, accessible tour of early ideas that shaped quantum theory, thermodynamics, and relativity. This edition collects the eight lectures where Planck explores how measurement, entropy, heat, and radiation fit into a unified view of physics. Readers will encounter discussions of reversibility and irreversibility, the equation of state for a monatomic gas, and the statistical ideas behind radiation theory. The material is presented to show the development of theoretical physics as a whole, with attention to both foundational concepts and their practical implications.

How measurements and mathematics frame physical theory
Foundations of entropy and the second law in simple, convincing terms
Early views on heat, radiation, and the atomistic theory of matter
Introductions to relativity and general dynamics in approachable language

Ideal for readers seeking a historically grounded, non-technical entry into the ideas that shaped modern physics, and for anyone curious about the origins of thermodynamics, quantum thinking, and Einstein’s relativity.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of theoretical physics at the dawn of the 20th century, offering a captivating exploration of the fundamental laws governing the universe as understood at that time. Through a series of meticulously crafted lectures, the author embarks on a journey through key concepts, including the principles of thermodynamics, the atomic theory of matter, and the revolutionary ideas surrounding heat radiation and electrodynamics. The author masterfully situates these scientific inquiries within the broader historical context of physics' evolution, tracing the shift from anthropocentric views to a more objective understanding of natural phenomena. This exploration extends to probing the distinction between reversible and irreversible processes, ultimately leading to profound insights into the nature of entropy and the unidirectional flow of time. Delving deeper, the book examines the application of thermodynamic principles to diverse areas such as dilute solutions and electrolytic dissociation. The author's lucid explanations and insightful analyses illuminate the interconnectedness of mechanics and electrodynamics, hinting at a future where these seemingly disparate branches of physics may converge. In essence, this book provides a window into a pivotal era in the history of physics, offering enduring insights into the quest for a unified understanding of the physical world and the profound implications of scientific progress for our comprehension of the cosmos and our place within it. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
