Space, Time, and Motion. The Greatest Ideas of the Universe

Space, Time, and Motion. The Greatest Ideas of the Universe

Scientists know how our world, the Universe, is organized, but this knowledge is most often expressed in the form of formulas, which seem to us a chaotic jumble of letters and symbols. Thanks to Sean Carroll, you will see inspiring... poetry in them, soaring into the skies, wings spread, to gaze upon the marvelous multidimensional country — the curved space-time — where radiant giants live and mighty forces act. Advanced mathematics, like a diamond polished for centuries, is worthy of no less admiration than the "Mona Lisa". It is the language in which scientific poems about black holes are written.
The book is written in the traditions of the legendary lectures by Richard Feynman, which he delivered sixty years ago. It is a dazzling bright spotlight that helps people from diverse cultures and generations to look at the surrounding world in a new way.
Sean Carroll, like no one else, can explain the most difficult-to-understand concepts, lifting the veil that has long hidden the most important constructs of modern science. He has a special talent for presenting the most complex ideas in an engaging form, clearly conveying to the reader the fundamental concepts underlying real physics.
