Physics is one of the most fascinating topics and yet so few people have really ever considered it all. That is a pity, because if we are beings who value knowledge, then we are usually missing. But it doesn't have to be that way, because there are all sorts of wonderful books and documentaries available.
For example, there is a book that is truly worth reading if you can spare a month to absorb it all. It is a book that I own, I've read many chapters in. It's also a great reference book on the subject. The name of the book is;
"The world Treasury of physics, astronomy, and Mathematics" edited by Timothy Harris, published by Little, Brown and Company, New York, NY, (1989), 859 pages, ISBN: 0-318-07136-6.
In this comprehensive work you will learn all about time and space. Information about thermodynamics, mass, gravity, relativity, black holes and our fundamental understanding of all this, but remember this book was published in 1989, so quite a bit has happened since. The first chapter is one of the best, and it discusses atoms and quarks, electrons position prediction and elementary quantum theory, which today we seem to know a lot more about. There are essays on unified theories, uncertainty principles, and Albert Einstein's most famous equation; E = MC squared.
Well, that's the first part, and in the second part are chapters about our Sun, the structure of our universe, and how it all started and how we expect the end of a day, well after we're gone. There are chapters by Stephen Hawking, Richard Muller, Carl Sagan and so many other notables. Everything about comets, Supernova and our Galaxy, and for all you religious types out there, they don't forget and in the spirit of integration, there is also an item on "Biblical creationism".
The third and forth sections have chapters on mathematics of the cosmos, and dealing with very large numbers, artificial intelligence and mathematics of the unknown, and the limitations of known mathematics in this realm, at least now. The fourth section is about the men, and scientists behind the theories we use now, and how they came to be, along with the chapter with the title; "Women in science"-again in the spirit of integration and kudos for their performance.
The book is really great in that there are many poems of science are listed along with the "Philosophy of Science" too. This book will your mind to a whole new dimension of learning and intrigues of our universe to open. Maybe, that is her main focus, to give the reader interested in the sciences and the physics of all that is, that is known and all that is left to be discovered. Indeed, I highly recommend this book for anyone who loves physics and science.
