A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design

Autor Frank Wilczek
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2016
A Nobel Prize-winning physicist argues that beauty is the fundamental organizing principle for the entire universe

In this scientific tour de force, world-class physicist Frank Wilczek argues that beauty is at the heart of the logic of the universe. As the quest to find the beauty embodied in the universe has connected all scientific pursuit, from Pythagoras to Einstein, Wilczek shows us just how deeply intertwined our ideas about beauty and art are with our understanding of the cosmos.A Beautiful Questionis a mind-expanding book combining the age-old human quest for beauty with the age-old human quest for truth.

Recenzii

A truly beautiful book ... Why do physicists call their theories beautiful? Immerse yourself in this book, wallow in it, sit back and relax as you wander through it, and you'll soon understand.
Anyone who wants to see how science and transcendence can be compatible must read this book. Wilczek has caught the winds of change, and his thinking breaks through some sacred boundaries with curiosity, insight, and intellectual power.
Illuminating ... A fresh perspective on modern scientific thinking from an expert with a flair for jargon-free exposition ... Wilczek writesA Beautiful Questionwith bracing pizzazz ... Contains more beef than many a finely written scientific potboiler.
The first book I've read in which I've felt that almost vertiginous sensation of peering through layers of theories down to the true nature of the universe ... At times this is a challenging text, but it is well worth the effort. Wilczek is admirably clear in his explanations.
It's rare that scientists as brilliant as Wilczek give us a glimpse of what goes on inside their heads ... Expect to come away pretty dazzled.
[A] searching and earnest book ... The book of a love-struck physicist ...A Beautiful Questionis a meditation.
A Beautiful Questionis both a brilliant exploration of largely uncharted territories and a refreshingly idiosyncratic guide to developments in particle physics.
Wilczek's sheer pleasure in the beauty of mathematics is the engine and joy of this book ... [A] rewarding read ... There is a lot of food for the mind here, but also some for the eye.
[An] eccentrically brilliant book
