Still an unknown universe. Thoughts about physics, art and crisis of science. Weinberg S.

For decades, one of the most famous scientists of our time forces society to think about the fundamental laws of nature and the inextricable connection of science and society. In his new book, “Still Unknown Universe,” Stephen Weinberg illuminates a wide range of issues: from cosmological problems, he moves to social, from astronomy, quantum mechanics and the theory of science to the limitations of modern knowledge, the art of scientific discoveries and the benefits of errors. The Nobel Prize winner Stephen Weinberg shares his views on the exciting fundamental issues of physics and the structure of the Universe. At the same time, he manages not to limit himself to narrow disciplinary frames and not hiding from political topics, including the inappropriateness of manned space flights, the problems of social inequality and the importance of supporting a great science.
