The idea, called monism, has a rich three-thousand-year history: Plato believed that \"all is one\" before monism was rejected as irrational and suppressed as a heresy by the medieval Church. Nevertheless, monism persisted, inspiring Enlightenment science and Romantic poetry. P舖 aims to show how monism could inspire physics today, how it could slice through the intellectual stagnation that has bogged down progress in modern physics and help the field achieve the grand theory of everything it has been chasing for decades. \u003cp\u003e Blending physics, philosophy, and the history of ideas, \u003ci\u003eThe One\u003c\/i\u003e is an epic, mind-expanding journey through millennia of human thought and into the nature of reality itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinrich P舖\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541674855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541674851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.30w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2022","brand":"Heinrich P舖","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071632666879,"sku":"9781541674851","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8242435-6a04-41cf-825e-653b78bcda40.jpg?v=1685437259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-one-heinrich-ps-9781541674851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
