O knihe

Why Stuff Falls Down is the story of how we have understood gravity, from the time of the ancient Greeks right up to the current efforts to unify Einstein's gravity with quantum mechanics. It's also the story of science. How did science grow to be the way it is today? What's the difference between a fact, a wild idea, and a scientific theory? And what's this scientific method they talk about? This book is written in plain English, with a minimum of nerdy jargon. This story is for anybody curious about what we know, and how we know it. If that sounds good to you - then you are who I wrote this book for! This little book is written in clear, straightforward language. Does heavy stuff always fall faster than light stuff? How did we go from tossing rocks to launching satellites into orbit? What's rational thinking? What's critical thinking? What's so special about the scientific method? And why does stuff fall down? Crack open this book to find out! Bonus Material: Quantum mechanics in plain English? Ya gotta read it to believe it. Enjoy!Michael Kemp
