Beauty and the Beast: the Aesthetic Moment in Science
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Plenum Publishing Corporation
- Publish date: 05/01/1999
Showing how the aesthetic delights of thought, analysis, research, and discovery are leading components of the scientific mind and process, the author examines everything from snowflakes to the overall makeup of the time-space continuum. He explores these concepts and others including evolution and symmetry in nature, as well as imaginary numbers and irrationality as proof of beauty in science. He presents truth as a state of beauty -- and beauty as the embodiment of truth.
This thought-provoking book will stir the senses and implore us to expand our vision of reality -- to use all the senses, not just our rational intellect, in determining the truth behind scientific discovery.
