Synopsis

The universe is a message written in a code, a cosmic code, asserts the author of this investigation into the ultimate structure of matter. The understanding of this code, through the science of quantum physics, has led to profound and startling discoveries that radically challenge our assumptions about the nature of reality. The author also wrote "Perfect Symmetry".

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

'The Cosmic Code can be read by anyone. I heartily recommend it!'The New York Times Book Review 'A reliable guide for the nonmathematical reader across the highest ridges of physical theory. Pagels is unfailingly lighthearted and confident.' Scientific American 'A sound, clear, vital work that deserves the attention of anyone who takes an interest in the relationship between material reality and the human mind.' Science 82 This is one of the most important books on quantum mechanics ever written for lay readers. Heinz Pagels, an eminent physicist and science writer, discusses and explains the core concepts of physics without resorting to complicated mathematics. The two-part treatment outlines the history of quantum physics and addresses complex subjects such as Bell's theorem and elementary particle physics, drawing upon the work of Bohr, Gell-Mann, and others. Anecdotes from the personal documents of Einstein, Oppenheimer, Bohr, and Planck offer intimate glimpses of the scientists whose work forever changed the world.
