FRANK WILCZEK A Beautiful Question: Finding Nature's Deep Design The Nobel laureate explores the question Does the universe embody beautiful ideas? He reveals how it has been the heart of scientific pursuit from Pythagoras to Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and into 21st-century physics, bringing us right to the edge of knowledge today, where the core insights of even the craziest quantum ideas apply principles we all understand. Wilczek... has accomplished a rare feat: Writing a book of profound humanity based on questions aimed directly at the eternal.
