Description

The Universe's underlying laws and constants are rooted in deep symmetries that give rise to fundamental principles such as energy conservation, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics. Peter Atkins explores how these laws emerged from the minimum effort required to equip the Universe with its governing rules. Atkins delves into the origins of classical and quantum mechanics, revealing a rich weaving together of fundamental ideas in physics. With characteristic wit and erudition, he sketches out how the laws of Nature can arise from very little or even nothing at all. This book offers a concise yet profound exploration of the Universe's underlying structure, shedding light on the intricate relationships between its governing principles and the fundamental constants that shape our understanding of reality.
