life and will do the same for you. Far from being abstract he argues physics can help us
answer very human questions questions like: Why are some relationships unstable while others
last a lifetime? Why does inequality persist? And why do we all make so many irrational
decisions? Drawing on quantum mechanics thermodynamics chaos and complexity theory
materials science and more The Art of Physics reveals the hidden surprising and sometimes
beautiful ways in which physics can help us to make sense of an unpredictable world. Ultimately
it shows how by embracing the paradoxes and uncertainty at the core of physics we can unlock a
deeper understanding of ourselves and our universe . A deeply personal and thoroughly
entertaining tour of life the universe and everything.
