For those who found the ‘Short History of Nearly Everything’ or for that matter the post on ‘Astronomy….’ interesting, here’s a brilliant video which visually explains fundamental physical concepts of the Universe. It starts with Newton and the apple…..yes, The Theory of Gravitation through Electro Dynamics, Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics in the search for that one Unified theory which can explain the Universe, and in the end you almost hear them asking if the concept is Science or Philosophy. It’s also interesting to get that peek into how Einstein approached his work, the passion, the faith, and more I think, the courage to be and believe against all odds.
I quote from the related book 'The Elegant Universe' by Brian Greene
Einstein showed the world that space and time behave in astoundingly unfamiliar ways. Now, cutting-edge research has integrated his discoveries into a quantum universe with numerous hidden dimensions coiled into the fabric of the cosmos—dimensions whose lavishly entwined geometry may well bold the key to some of the most profound questions ever posed. Although some of these concepts are subtle, we will see that they can be grasped through down-to-earth analogies. And when these ideas are understood, they provide a startling and revolutionary perspective on the universe.
