Musings on Science (Words of Wisdom Series): From Pythagoras to Stephen Hawking by Jude Patterson

From the Publisher

Words of Wisdom: Musings on Science

From Pythagoras' mystical insight into the geometry of the universe, to Stephen Hawking's bold vision pointing toward a Theory of Everything, Musings on Science brings together the experiences, observations, and opinions of 150 of the world's great scientific pioneers and philosophers. We see how ideas are born and tested, how science relates to art and religion, and how scientists' dreams intersect with real life, sometimes with disastrous consequences. Science is fertile ground for the imagination, provoking as many questions as it tries to answer. In Musings on Science we see that the curiosity of the human mind in probing natural phenomena is as boundless as the universe.
