The Poetry of Physics: From a Quark to a Quasar

By Sam Illingworth

Book Overview

The Poetry of Physics explores the intersection of science and art, blending the intricate beauty of physics with the evocative power of poetry. This unique work takes readers on a journey through the physical world, from the delicate patterns of living organisms to the vast reaches of the cosmos.

Structured in four sections - living physics, environmental physics, celestial physics, and a guide on writing your own poems - this book offers both scientific insights and poetic reflections, providing a richer understanding of both fields. The final section provides practical guidance on crafting your own physics-inspired poetry, encouraging active participation in this tradition of blending scientific and artistic inquiry.
