This ... work of popular science not only illuminates concepts normally reserved only for physicists and mathematicians but also portrays the profound beauty of nature's inherent design. [The authors] reveal concepts about the universe, based on Noether's work, that are largely unknown to the public yet have wide-ranging implications for the big bang, Einstein's theory of relativity, quantum mechanics, and many other areas of physics. Through analogies and illustrations, they bring these astounding notions to life. -Dust jacket. Read more...
