Paperback. Condition: New. Why are there more poor people with small bank accounts than rich people with big bank accounts? Why are there more small planets and stars than big ones in the cosmos? And why are there more small rivers than big rivers, and more harmless tremors than devastating earthquakes? Empirical examinations of real-life data overwhelmingly confirm the existence of such uneven size proportions in favor of the small, leaving us only the question: Why?This law of nature carries through a vast list of topics and disciplines, confirming it to be nearly universal. In the biological world there are only approximately two million whales and over three hundred billion birds; in number theory there are more small prime numbers than there are big ones; in census data there are more villages than towns, more towns than cities, and more cities than metropolises; in history there have been more minor conflicts than great wars.In a landmark, first-ever study on the distribution of relative sizes, this book discusses several real-life case studies such as those above in extensive detail, and presents three distinct explanations for the phenomenon. Readers of all disciplines and levels of expertise will find an easily accessible yet original exploration that concludes with a numerical quantification demonstrating precisely by how much the relatively small is more numerous than the relatively big.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book reveals the multi-generational process involved in humanity's first major scientific achievement, namely the discovery of modern physics, and examines the personal lives of six of the intellectual giants involved. It explores the profound revolution in the way of thinking, and in particular the successful refutation of the school of thought inherited from the Greeks, which focused on the perfection and immutability of the celestial world. In addition, the emergence of the scientific method and the adoption of mathematics as the central tool in scientific endeavors are discussed.The book then explores the delicate thread between pure philosophy, grand unifying theories, and verifiable real-life scientific facts.Lastly, it turns to Kepler's crucial 3rd law and shows how it was derived from a mere six data points, corresponding to the six planets known at the time. Written in a straightforward and accessible style, the book will inform and fascinate all aficionados of science, history, philosophy, and, in particular, astronomy.…
