商品簡介
Alice Major, an accomplished poet, takes readers through several quasi-technical though thoroughly accessible explorations of topics in popular science. She expresses an ardent distaste for how science and poetry, as perspectives if not practices, are set in opposition to each other. In eleven chapters on everything from scale and symmetry, brain-chemistry, phase changes, black holes, motion, holographic universes, and more, Major makes a compelling case for a renewed rapport between poets and scientists.
