Up till now, previous volumes followed a transition from the physics of the large scales to that of the small scales, and from comprehensible speeds to speeds close to light, and from the absolute certain to the chaotic uncertain. In this volume, we combine the small, the very fast, and the very uncertain as we discuss particle physics as understood today. From Dirac to Feynman, from Einstein to Higgs, the sixth volume of The Theory of Physics touches on the four fundamental forces of nature, and how they are (and could) be described by quantum field theory: an underlining theory only acknowledged across this book. This book, intended for physics students and science enthusiasts alike, delves into the historical contexts of the electromagnetic, (strong and weak) nuclear, and gravitational forces as relativistic and quantum theories, and how one can dissect Feynman diagrams into scattering amplitudes that define cross sections and decay rates. This book serves as a direct continuation of Vol. IV (on quantum mechanics), as it depends on the mathematics and discussions found in Vols. III (modern physics) and V (statistical mechanics).
