Physics, once known as natural philosophy, is the most basic science, explaining the world we live in, from the largest scale down to the very, very, iveryi smallest, and our understanding of it has changed over many centuries. In iBlack Bodies and Quantum Catsi, science writer Jennifer Ouellette traces key developments in the field, setting descriptions of the fundamentals of physics in their historical context as well as against a broad cultural backdrop. Newton's laws are illustrated via the film iAddams Family Valuesi, while iBack to the Futurei demonstrates the finer points of special relativity. Poe's The Purloined Letter serves to illuminate the mysterious nature of neutrinos, and Jeanette Winterson's novel iGut Symmetriesi provides an elegant metaphorical framework for string theory. An enchanting and edifying read, iBlack Bodies and Quantum Catsi shows that physics is not an arcane field of study but a profoundly human endeavor--and a fundamental part of our everyday world.
