The Elegant Universe
(Brian Greene)
The author is an graceful teacher who knows how to keep attention of an average, non-scientific people. This book is a masterpiece: what we think of as theoretical, concepts of modern physics have been translated into common man?s language.Thus, taking the most sublime theories of quantum mechanics, manipulating them by mind-bending, advanced math derivations , Greene gracefully translates every detail, and, sometimes along with its mind-boggling sub-detail into everyday equivalents. Having read first hundred pages, it?s possible for an average person to feel like being able to understand graduate students arguing astrophysical concepts over cup of coffee. Anyone who has ever wondered about incredibly unfathomable phenomena that seem to surround our world, or originate from universe, can get a grip on the most basic explanations behind the questions that have puzzled or even bothered most of humanity. This book is also recommended to anyone who has been turned off to eccentric musings of Einstein, amazed at the Schroedinger?s cat, lost in the Heisenberg?s uncertainty principle, or bored by Niels Bohr. The broad spectrum of the topics and the depth of detail, made simple and used to delve into every aspect of modern physics is also a useful research tool for a writer tackling the world of science-fiction where physics concepts must be rendered believable as well as easily to understand.
