Does the universe embody beautiful ideas? Artists as well as scientists throughout human history have pondered this 'beautiful question.' With Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek as your guide, embark on a voyage of related discoveries, from Plato and Pythagoras up to the present.

This is the deep logic of the universe--and it is no accident that it is also at the heart of what we find aesthetically pleasing and inspiring.
Wilczek is hardly alone among great scientists in charting his course using beauty as his compass. As he reveals in A Beautiful Question, this has been the heart of scientific pursuit from Pythagoras and the ancient belief in the music of the spheres to Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and into the deep watersProdukt A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design (Wilczek Frank)(Paperback) má EAN kód 9780143109365.
