Quantum Physics, Mini Black Holes, and the Multiverse: Debunking Common Misconceptions in Theoretical Physics

Quantum Physics, Mini Black Holes, and the Multiverse: Debunking Common Misconceptions in Theoretical Physics (Springer, February 2018) by John Terning, professor of physics, with Yasunori Nomura and L. William Poirier. This book explores, explains and debunks some common misconceptions about quantum physics, particle physics, space-time, and Multiverse cosmology. The material is presented in layperson-friendly language, followed by additional technical sections which explain basic equations and principles.

Professor Terning's research interest areas include theoretical particle physics, electroweak symmetry breaking, supersymmetry, cosmology, extra dimensions and AdS/CFT correspondence. He received his Ph.D. from University of Toronto in 1990. He has also worked as a lecturer/researcher at Harvard University prior to joining UC Davis in 2004 when he was an Associate Professor of Physics for 4 years. Presently, he is a Professor in the Physics department.
