But in \u003ci\u003eA Different Universe\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003ci\u003eA Different Universe\u003c\/i\u003e is a truly mind-bending book that shows us why everything we think about fundamental physical laws needs to change.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47588373823639,"sku":"9780465038299","price":2458.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780465038299.webp?v=1774967914","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-different-universe-reinventing-physics-from-the-bottom-down-9780465038299","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
