The Magicians

Great Minds and the Central Miracle of Science

Marcus Chown
Since humanity first learned to predict eclipses, our understanding of the universe has often progressed through equations that predict future discoveries. Marcus Chown explains ten of the most remarkable mathematically based advances in physics, from electromagnetism to Einstein's gravitational waves and Wolfgang Pauli's neutrino, starting in 1846 when Johann Galle identified Neptune, the existence of which had already been calculated.
