Virgin ​Science 0 csillagozás

Virgin ​Science is a fascinating portrait of man searching for meaning in contemporary modes of thought.
This ground-breaking book has at its centre a sequence of meditative pieces, reflecting on the revolutionary paradigms that have recently emerged in our age from such fields as quantum physics and holography. In the tradition of such intellectual adventures as The Tao of Physics, Di Cicco explores man's place in an era ruled by uncertainty principles, and mapped in terms of time reversibility, cosmic wormholes, and the „many worlds” theory.
The reader is taken on a dazzling spiritual odyssey, from a time of innocence to a kind of fall into contemporary scientific thinking, on magnificent flights into black holes and through quantum foam.
