Description

'Exceptionally interesting' - Alain de Botton

Why are some relationships unstable, while others last a lifetime? Why do the rich keep getting richer, and can it ever be any other way? And why do we all make seemingly irrational decisions?

People are messy. Science is methodical. Could ideas from physics allow us to solve our most urgent problems? ?This book is about the hidden, surprising, and sometimes beautiful ways in which physics could help you make sense of a chaotic and unpredictable world.

Drawing on cutting-edge research and eye-opening insights from quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chaos and complexity theory, materials science and more, The Art of Physics shows that science offers a rich vocabulary for tackling contradictions that seem to be the hallmarks of daily life. Not only does physics explain many aspects of our experience, it transforms our understanding of them.
