This book combines physics, history, and philosophy in a radical new approach to introducing the philosophy of physics. Accessible to readers with little background in physics or philosophy, this book allows the reader to wrestle with the metaphysical and conceptual problems that drove innovation in physics, from nineteenth-century electromagnetic field theory through relativity and quantum mechanics. Among the topics treated are action at a distance, the reality of electric fields, energy's character as 'stuff' flowing through space, and the meaning of 'E=mc2.' The book's engaging, non-technical style makes it ideal for those who want to go beyond the equations and discover what physics reveals about reality.
