Conjuring the universe : the origins of the laws of nature
Atkins, P. W. (Peter William), 1940-2018
Books
The marvellous complexity of the universe emerges from several deep laws and a handful of fundamental constants that fix its shape, scale and destiny. There is a deep structure to the world which at the same time is simple, elegant and beautiful. Where did these laws and these constants come from? And why are the laws so fruitful when written in the language of mathematics? Peter Atkins considers the minimum effort needed to equip the Universe with its laws and its constants.
