Красота физики: Постигая устройство природы. Ф. Вильчек. - 2-e изд.

Verno li, chto krasota pravit mirom? Ėtim voprosom na proti͡azhenii vseĭ istorii chelovechestva zadavalisʹ i mysliteli, i khudozhniki, i uchenye. Na stranit͡sakh velikolepno illi͡ustrirovannoĭ knigi svoimi razmyshlenii͡ami o krasote Vselennoĭ i nauchnykh ideĭ delitsi͡a Nobelevskiĭ laureat Frėnk Vilʹchek. Shag za shagom, nachinai͡a s predstavleniĭ grecheskikh filosofov i zakanchivai͡a sovremennoĭ glavnoĭ teorieĭ obʺedinenii͡a vzaimodeĭstviĭ i napravlenii͡ami ee veroi͡atnogo razvitii͡a, avtor pokazyvaet lezhashchie v osnove fizicheskikh kont͡sept͡siĭ idei krasoty i simmetrii. Geroi ego issledovanii͡a - i Pifagor, i Platon, i Nʹi͡uton, i Maksvell, i Ėĭnshteĭn. Nakonet͡s, ėto Ėmmi Nëter, kotorai͡a vyvela iz simmetrii zakony sokhranenii͡a, i velikai͡a plei͡ada fizikov XX v. V otlichie ot mnogikh populi͡arizatorov, Frėnk Vilʹchek ne boitsi͡a formul i umeet "na palʹt͡sakh" pokazatʹ samye slozhnye veshchi, zarazhai͡a nas i͡umorom i oshchushcheniem chuda.

Is it true that beauty rules the world? This question has been asked throughout the history of mankind by thinkers, artists and scientists. The Nobel laureate Frank wilchek shares his thoughts on the beauty of the Universe and scientific ideas on the pages of the beautifully illustrated book. Step by step, starting with the ideas of Greek philosophers and ending with the modern main theory of unification of interactions and directions of its probable development, the author shows the underlying physical concepts of the idea of beauty and symmetry. The heroes of his research are Pythagoras, Plato, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein. Finally, it is Emmy Noether, who withdrew from the symmetry conservation laws, and the great galaxy of physicists of the XX century, unlike many popularizers, Frank Wilczek is not afraid of formulas and is able to "fingers" to show the most difficult things, infecting us with humor and sense of wonder.
