The universe within : from quantum to cosmos

Description

Every technology we rely on today was created by the human mind, seeking to understand the universe around us. Scientific knowledge is our most precious possession, and our future will be shaped by the breakthroughs to come. In this personal, visionary, and fascinating work, Neil Turok, Director of Canada's Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, explores transformative discoveries - from the nature of light, to the evolution of the cosmos, to the bizarre world of the quantum, to the emerging ideas which may yield tomorrow's technologies.
