      A Brief History of the Grand Unified Theory of Physics

      Mar 16, 2017

      Particle physicists had two nightmares before the Higgs particle was discovered in 2012. The first was that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) particle accelerator would see precisely nothing. For if it did, it would likely be the last large accelerator

      What You’re Doing Right Now Is Proof of Quantum Theory

      Nov 24, 2021

      Nobody understands quantum mechanics,” Richard Feynman famously said. Long after Max Planck’s discovery in 1900 that energy comes in separate packets or quanta, quantum physics remains enigmatic. It is vastly different from how things work at bigger

      Feb 28, 2019

      In my 50s, too old to become a real expert, I have finally fallen in love with algebraic geometry. As the name suggests, this is the study of geometry using algebra. Around 1637, René Descartes laid the groundwork for this subject by taking a plane,

      Introducing Seven Brief Lessons on Physics

      P

      HYSICS IS A HARD SUBJECT TO UNDERSTAND FOR MOST people. Only those who have the scientific bent can truly appreciate a science book full of incomprehensible math equations, which is why a bestseller with this subject is hard to accomplish. Italian physicist Carlo Rovelli wrote Seven Brief Lessons on Physics not expecting to sell a million. But he did and was so surprised with the book’s success.

      It was first published in Italy with 3,000 copies only. Word of mouth spread quickly and 18 reprints later, the book continued to win more readers. It has become one of the fastest selling science books and has already reached a million copies worldwide. Translations into 28 languages are in process. In Italy, it is known as having outsold Fifty Shades of Gray, the erotic romance novel that became the fastest selling paperback of all time, selling 125 million copies worldwide. Science booksellers agree that Seven Brief Lessons’ success follows the equally successful physics book written by the renowned Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of
