Chaos and Harmony" is seriously worth the time for anyone interested in catching up on what's important in science these days. I like to see how different authors tackle the general big issues: quantum mechanics, fine tuning, the idea of multiverses, string theory, and so on. Thuan's strong point seems to be quantum mechanics.

For 300 years, Trinh Xuan Thuan writes, since the time of Isaac Newton, scientists saw reality as a giant clock-a sterile mechanism in which one part acts on another in a deterministic fashion. Chaos and Harmony: Perspectives on Scientific Revolutions of the Twentieth Century. By Trinh Xuan Thuan, Axel Reisinger. But the discoveries of the last few decades have changed all that, conjuring up instead a universe brimming with unpredictability, creativity, and chance.

Trinh Xuan Thuan, whose books of popular science are bestsellers in France, is an astronomer by training. In Chaos and Harmony, he reaches well beyond the immediate bounds of that field to consider the explosion of scientific knowledge of all kinds in the 20th century, and he muses on the very nature of scientific inquiry. The most important aspect of a theory of science, in Trinh's view, is not that it be verifiable experimentally, but that it "allow beauty and truth to emerge into on. General relativity is a hallmark in this regard

Truth and beauty - Contingency and necessity: the formation of the solar system - Chaos in the cosmic machinery, and uncertainty in determinism - The austere beauty of symmetry - The unbearable strangeness of atoms - The creative universe - The unreasonable effectiveness of thought.
Chaos And Harmony book. It is during that period that he acquired the French style th Trinh Xuan Thuan was born on 20th August, 1948 in Hanoï (Vietnam). This book was well organized starting from basic scientific principle and progressing through much more advanced quantum theory and theoretical cosmology. It was obviously written by someone with a penchant for science as opposed to literature, and it's organized in a way to give brief summaries of each principle.

For 300 years, Trinh Xuan Thuan writes, since the time of Isaac Newton, scientists saw reality as a giant clock-a sterile mechanism in which one part acts on another in a deterministic fashion. But the discoveries of the last few decades have changed all that, conjuring up instead a universebrimming with unpredictability, creativity, and chance. Writing with exceptional grace and clarity, Thuan vividly describes these important scientific discoveries, intriguing new theories about chaos, gravity, strange attractors, fractals, symmetry, superstrings, and the strangeness of atoms.
