Our physics so far – a journey through spacetime, consciousness and the fundamental nature of reality

Description

About the book

The book narrates the journey of physics and science from Newton’s days to today, with interesting discussions on consciousness, chaos theory, deductions, paradoxes and an interview with renowned physicist Edward Witten. The book starts with a discussion on the origins of the universe and the development of mathematics and classical physics. Then, the special and the general theories of relativity are discussed. The next part is about the evolution of quantum mechanics. The next part discusses modern particle physics, the information paradox and the hunt for a theory of everything. Then, the book turns to consciousness and chaos theory. Finally, there is a discussion on deductions (and how to do it like Sherlock Holmes!), and a discussion on paradoxes and the fundamental nature of reality.
