Deset klíčů k realitě - Fundamenty světa – Wilczek Frank (2024)

Nobel Prize-winning physicist and popularizer Frank Wilczek offers readers a clear yet profound interpretation of our physical reality in his book Ten Keys to Reality, based on the latest findings of modern science. He compares a thorough understanding of often very counterintuitive conclusions of contemporary physics to a rebirth, as it requires a reevaluation of the mental models about how the world works that we all built in childhood. Instead of merely describing bare facts, he primarily aims to convey a coherent message about what the universe looks like and how it functions: There is much space, time, matter, and energy (including that which has yet to be seen), yet only a few elementary ingredients and laws. Everything is subject to constant change, and all the complexity of the world, human consciousness, society, and civilization emerges through evolution. In the conclusion of the book, the author emphasizes the interconnectedness of all living and non-living things across the cosmos and, in a convincingly humanistic spirit, calls us to free ourselves from prejudices, to cultivate as broad an empathy as possible, and to embrace moral responsibility.
