You never knew that theoretical physics could be so simple! In this exciting and significant book, Andrew Thomas reveals how all unifications in physics have been based on incredibly simple ideas.

Using a logical approach, Thomas explains how the great twentieth-century theories of relativity and quantum mechanics share a common base and how they can be linked using an idea so simple that anyone can understand it.

An idea which is so simple that it has been hidden in plain sight.
