In the Day the universe changed James Burke argues that knowledge is a man-made artifact, and when man's views of reality are changed by knowledge, reality itself changes. Armed with this provocative thesis, he charts a course from the Middle Ages to today, examining those critical periods in history when the ideas, institutions that have transformed man's understanding of the world were born. The day the universe change takes as a starting point to read discovery of the teachings of classical Greece in the 11th century, which stimulate passion for scientific learning and divided the medieval world from the modern world. Later chapters consider the rediscovery of perspective geometry in Renaissance Florence and its relation to the notion of individualism, the development of the printing press and the birth of propaganda,, the study of canon trajectories, that led to the discovery of the wall of gravity, the religious, agricultural and economic causes of the Industrial Revolution, the pairing of medicine with statistics in revolutionary France allowed man to study himself and society and the origins of evolution and its application in America,Nazi Germany and Soviet societies finally Burke considers Heisenberg's fearful uncertainty principle, which challenged the rational Newtonian view and suggests that the true nature of the universe may forever elude us......thrift shop, my books are priced so after everyone else gets theirs, I make it least a small profit to cover my time, and costs and efforts.
