Summary |
"In The Disordered Cosmos, Prescod-Weinstein shares with readers her love for physics, from the Standard Model of Particle Physics and what lies beyond it, to the physics of melanin in skin, to the latest theories of dark matter - all with a new spin and rhythm informed by pop culture, hip hop, politics, and Star Trek. Science, like most fields, is set up for men to succeed, and is rife with racism, sexism, and shortsightedness as a result. By welcoming the insights of those who have been left out for too long, we expand our understanding of the universe and our place in it."-- Provided by publisher. |
