Book Description

From preeminent math personality and author of The Joy of x, a brilliant and endlessly appealing explanation of calculus - how it works and why it makes our lives immeasurably better. Without calculus, we wouldn't have cell phones, TV, GPS, or ultrasound. We wouldn't have unraveled DNA or discovered Neptune or figured out how to put 5,000 songs in your pocket. Though many of us were scared away from this essential, engrossing subject in high school and college, Steven Strogatz's brilliantly creative, down‑to‑earth history shows that calculus is not about complexity; it's about simplicity. It harnesses an unreal number--infinity--to tackle real‑world problems, breaking them down into easier ones and then reassembling the answers into solutions that feel miraculous. Infinite Powers recounts how calculus tantalized and thrilled its inventors, starting with its first glimmers in ancient Greece and bringing us right up to the discovery of gravitational waves (a phenomenon predicted by calculus). Strogatz reveals how this form of math rose to the challenges of each age: how to determine the area of a circle with only sand and a stick; how to explain why Mars goes "backwards" sometimes; how to make electricity with magnets; how to ensure your rocket doesn't miss the moon; how to turn the tide in the fight against AIDS. As Strogatz proves, calculus is truly the language of the universe. By unveiling the principles of that language, Infinite Powers makes us marvel at the world anew.

Book Description

Why is our world comprehensible? This question seems so trivial that few people have dared to ask it. In this book we explore the deep roots of the mystery of rationality. The inquiry into the rationality of the world began over two-and-a-half-thousand years ago, when a few courageous people tried to understand the world with the help of reason alone, rejecting the comforting fabric of myth and legend. After many philosophical and theological adventures the Greek concept of rationality laid the foundations of a revolutionary way of thinking: the scientific method, which transformed the world. But looking at the newest fruits of the world's rationality - relativity theory, quantum mechanics, the unification of physics, quantum gravity - the question arises: what are the limits of the scientific method? The principal tenet of rationality is that you should never stop asking questions until everything has been answered ... "A Comprehensible Universe is a thoughtful book by two authors who have professional expertise in physics and astronomy and also in theology. They are exceptionally well informed about the history of the relation between science and theology, and they maintain throughout their discussion a respect for empirical evidence and a dedication to rationality. Even though I do not agree with all of their conclusions on matters of great complexity I am impressed by the fairness of their argumentation." Abner Shimony, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and Physics, Boston University

Book Description

In spite of the fact that the story of Blind Students and the Elephant is merely a story, the same has been repeated several times in the history of the mankind right from the primordial times till to-date; in fact this is the way science has gradually grown on its journey of evolution. Scientists have to face similar situations on many occasions; they never get full information before devising any theory, instead they discover part-truths in several steps, each of which is discovered after long periods of time. This is analogous to concept developed by a blind man who forms an idea about the elephant by touches only one of its body-part. Scientists can therefore consider only one aspect of a problem at a time; they encounter with other aspects of the same problem at a much later point of time. At times such a situation might lead to misconceptions. Sometimes such misconceptions, conceived by some renowned personalities, are even considered to be very brilliant ideas and valuable achievements. As a result heritage of falsified knowledge had been transferred, several times in the past, to at least next 3-4 generations. This becomes possible because common man blindly follows renowned persons who are considered to be wise; normally no one even bothers to verify the truth; this is the greatest misfortune of the human kind. Misjudging or regarding such misconceptions as valuable discoveries might cause science to divagate from its path to find out absolute truth; a very long and valuable time might also be lost in elimination of such misconceptions.

Book Description

"Let's Ponder" by Satya Prakash Verma is the second edition of the book named "Mysteries of the Universe - Unveiled," published in 2015 through M/S Partridge Publications, India. Although the market is flooded with different books on Astrophysics, this book is much different from all of them; this book is neither a Science-Fiction nor a Research-Paper that is based on the Mainstream Science; this book is, in fact, a Disquisition in which the Prominent Theories of mainstream science have been very boldly analyzed, and their probable Limitations have been logically explored.Since this book has been written to convey the message that our scientific theories might contain a few loose ends, the first part describes the circumstances under which shortcomings are likely to creep into any theory. In the following two parts, the author has first very boldly described the alternate angle of some of the modern scientific theories, in brief, portraying some of the probable loose ends that might exist in the eminent theories that are supposed to govern the functioning of the universe; these theories are: - the Wave Theory, the Theory of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics, String Theory, Theory of Gravity, the Big-Bang Theory and the Standard Model of Particle Physics, etc. Next, based on the alternate angle disclosed herein, an altogether new perspective on the creation of the galaxies, stars, and their planets, etc., has been presented; this part also sheds light on some of the mysteries that hitherto remained unresolved. This book also discloses his idea to carry out the experiment to determine the unidirectional speed of a light-beam. Though this experiment is considered impossible to perform by many, he has shared an idea by which this experiment may possibly be conducted successfully. The author's main aim in writing such a book is to spread the idea worldwide that time has now come to review our eminent scientific theories and modify them if felt necessary.
