In this age of superstring theories and Big Bang cosmology, we're
used to thinking of the unknown as impossibly distant from our
everyday lives. But in "A Different Universe," Nobel Laureate
Robert Laughlin argues that the scientific frontier is right under
our fingers. Instead of looking for ultimate theories, Laughlin
considers the world of emergent properties-meaning the properties,
such as the hardness and shape of a crystal, that result from the
organization of large numbers of atoms. Laughlin shows us how the
most fundamental laws of physics are in fact emergent. "A Different
Universe" is a truly mind-bending book that shows us why everything
we think about fundamental physical laws needs to change.
