Über diesen Titel
'Exceptionally interesting' Alain de Botton
'A book that will transform how you understand human behaviour' Thomas Erikson
'Insightful and entertaining' Cal Newport
'Fascinating ... You'll never again view your own world in quite the same way' Ian Stewart
Can physics change your life? It already has.
In The Art of Physics, Zahaan Bharmal explains eight ideas from physics that have transformed his view of everyday 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.

What I loved most was how he connected physics to everyday life. He explores fascinating questions like why some relationships are more stable than others, how subatomic particles can help predict elections, and even what physics has to say about the best way to ask a child if they've eaten their vegetables. It's this unique blend of personal anecdotes, global issues, science, and humour that makes the book so captivating.
Bharmal’s insights from quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and chaos theory actually made me regret not paying more attention in my physics lessons back in school. He reveals the surprising ways physics can help us understand the unpredictable nature of our world, from getting fired to predicting civilisation-level catastrophes.
I'm sure I will pick up a physical copy of this book at some point, as I'd love to revisit some of the concepts in more detail. I highly recommend "The Art of Physics" to anyone who is curious about the world around them, even if they've always felt intimidated by physics.
