From Geocentricty to Quantum Loop Gravity

This book offers a journey into how our understanding of the world and the cosmos, has evolved. We begin with the myths of ancient civilizations, through philosophical approaches to the frontiers of modern physics. The reader is familiarized with both quantum physics and the general theory of relativity, without much mathematical baggage. The book provides information for anyone interested in science. The formulas, which are given in some cases, can be read over without losing the ideas and concepts of the theories. The most important ideas are set out in specially marked text. As we will see, quantum physics and chaos theory make the world a non-deterministic world, it becomes unpredictable.
