Description

Explore the deep connection between geometry and the structure of our universe. In A Conceptual History of Space and Symmetry: From Plato to the Superworld, Springer presents a unique historical perspective on how our understanding of the physical world has evolved. This book tracks the progression from classical ideas to the modern views used in theoretical physics today. Readers will follow the development of concepts that lead to advanced descriptions of the physical world, including the complex frameworks found in supergravity. The author combines storytelling with philosophical arguments and essential technical material to explain how symmetry and geometry are inextricably entangled. This work is designed for those interested in the historical process that shapes contemporary science and the abstract theories used to describe the cosmos.

Key Features

Provides a personal historical perspective on the evolution of symmetry and geometry concepts.

Connects classical philosophical ideas from Plato to modern theoretical physics applications.

Explains the complex concepts used in advanced descriptions of the physical world like supergravity.

Combines storytelling with philosophical argumentation to make complex history accessible.

Includes essential technical material to support the conceptual analysis of space and symmetry.

Demonstrates how symmetry and geometry are inextricably entangled throughout scientific history.
