Recenzje

The ideas of major Greek philosophers from classical antiquity pertaining to modern physics are examined in themselves and within the context of the current scientific understanding of nature in an engaging and lively exploration of the links between them. Ideas from philosophers such as Aristotle, Pythagoras, Zeno and Democritus are explained and connected to diverse topics in physics including the interpretation of quantum mechanics and the search for a theory of everything.
