Fearful symmetry : the search for beauty in modern physics / by Zee, A.,author.(CARDINAL)735538; Penrose, Roger,author of introduction.(CARDINAL)726298;
Includes bibliographical references and index.In search of beauty -- Symmetry and simplicity -- The far side of the mirror -- Marriage of time and space -- A happy thought -- Symmetry dictates design -- Where the action is not -- The lady and the tyger -- Learning to read the great book -- Symmetry triumps -- The eightfold path in the forest of the night -- The revenge of art -- The ultimate design problem -- Unity of forces -- The rise of hubris -- The mind of the creator.Fearful Symmetry brings the incredible discoveries of the juxtaposition of symmetry and asymmetry in contemporary physics within everyone's grasp. A. Zee, a distinguished physicist and skillful expositor, tells the exciting story of how contemporary theoretical physicists are following Einstein in their search for the beauty and simplicity of Nature.

The universe in the rearview mirror : how hidden symmetries shape reality / by Goldberg, Dave,1974-(CARDINAL)497493;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: in which I set everything up, so it's probably best not to skip ahead -- Antimatter : in which we learn why there is something rather than nothing -- Entropy : in which we explore where time comes from or whether it just is -- The cosmological principle : in which we learn why it is dark at night -- Emmy Noether : in which we determine what symmetry really means -- Relativity : in which we fail to build an intergalactic ansible -- Gravity : in which we learn why black holes don't last forever -- Replacement : in which we consider the design specifications for a teleportation device -- Spin : in which we investigate why you aren't a sentient cloud of helium and what a spoonful of neutron star would do to you -- Higgs : in which we explore the origin of mass and why physics isn't stamp collecting -- Hidden symmetries : in which objects in the mirror are closer than they appear -- Appendix -- Roadside attraction 1. The particle zoo -- Roadside attraction 2. A side of symmetries.The "Ask a Physicist" columnist for io9.com explains how space, time, and everything in between are shaped by hidden symmetries that have driven recent discoveries about the universe.
