- Summary:
- Tracing the history of science from Aristotle to Einstein, from the Pythagorean theorem to quantum mechanics, the authors offer intriguing new insights into how scientific theories come into being, how to eliminate blocks to creativity and how science can lead to a deeper understanding of society, the human condition and the human mind itself. Science, Order, and Creativity looks to the future of science with elegance, hope and enthusiasm. And it shows how each of us can work creatively in our own lives to help bring new meaning and order to the universe we share.
