Features: The visible and invisible material world in which humans have always been involved has been in multiple forms of communication with humans from the beginning. Its state could be ordinary, or unexpected and hidden. This ambiguous relationship only became clear with the emergence of physics. Physics attempts to describe all physical phenomena of the world in concise mathematical language, revealing the inherent order of the world through the relationships of force, motion, energy, space, and time. Discoveries and research in modern physics may have gone even further, with their results appearing more microscopic and abstract, such as atomic physics, quantum mechanics, low-temperature physics, nuclear physics, and so on. The achievements in these fields have greatly influenced modern life. The Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded since 1901, representing the pinnacle of physics in that year. Modern Exploration of Spacetime Dimensions is one of the "100 Years of Nobel Prize Winners" series. It follows the timeline of Nobel Prize in Physics winners, providing in-depth yet accessible explanations of the lives and experiments of past laureates, interspersed with numerous beautiful illustrations. It also offers precise definitions of popular science concepts that people often confuse, along with an index of relevant physics knowledge to aid readers in understanding.
