Description

The Universe Speaks in Numbers: How Modern Maths Reveals Nature's Deepest Secrets by Graham Farmelo. For centuries, scientists have sought to understand the underlying order of the universe. Recent experiments at the world's most powerful atom-smashers have yielded few new clues, prompting some physicists to turn to modern mathematics for insight. In this book, Farmelo argues that the physics being done is firmly rooted in established principles of quantum theory and relativity, part of a tradition dating back to Isaac Newton. With unprecedented access to leading scientific minds, Farmelo offers a vivid account of the blossoming relationship between mathematics and physics, revealing groundbreaking ideas that could revolutionize our understanding of reality. This masterful exploration of modern physics is essential reading for anyone interested in the quest to discover the fundamental laws of nature.
