Showing results for "Lost" in Philosophy

Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: Observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria.

The real story of science isn’t a triumphant breakthrough. It’s messy, mysterious, and deeply human. In Lost in Curiosity, award-winning journalist Roberta Kwok pulls back the curtain on what scientific discovery actually looks like… Not a Eureka moment, but a fraught, often chaotic...

Something has gone wrong with the world—and deep down, we all feel it. Science describes how the universe works, but it cannot explain why it was made or what it was meant to be. From the first words of Genesis to the mysteries of modern physics, this audiobook uncovers the hidden order behind existence—a design that has been forgotten, distorted, and denied.
