Is it true that beauty rules the world? This question has been asked throughout human history by thinkers, artists, and scientists. In this beautifully illustrated book, Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek shares his reflections on the beauty of the Universe and scientific ideas.

Step by step, beginning with the ideas of Greek philosophers and ending with the main modern theory of unification of interactions and the directions of its likely development, the author reveals the ideas of beauty and symmetry that underlie physical concepts.

The heroes of his research include Pythagoras, Plato, Newton, Maxwell, and Einstein. Finally, there is Emmy Noether, who derived conservation laws from symmetries, and the great galaxy of 20th-century physicists.

Unlike many popularizers, Frank Wilczek is not afraid of formulas and knows how to explain the most complex concepts simply, infecting us with humor and a sense of wonder.
