Opis

Is an understanding of why we exist an impossible dream? Using the greatest minds in science past and present, including the collected works of many famous Nobel Prize winners, the author argues that an unspoken revolution is taking place within science. It involves the growing realisation that at the deepest level our world may be constructed from nothing more than mathematical patterns. We are taken on a rapid journey from the beginning of time to the present in a language that is informal and conversational. Without using equations we are introduced to the biggest mysteries in science, from the parallel universes now used by quantum computers to the shocking outcomes of entanglement as well as the recent discovery of Amplituhedrons which suggest that space and time are derived from geometry. Yet behind these exciting discoveries the author shows that there is a limit to human understanding that is constrained by simple logic. It means that the origin of all information - the final mystery - will forever be inaccessible to the human mind. This book provides a fascinating insight into not only the history of scientific discovery, but also our contemporary understanding of the cosmos.
