A
Nobel-winning
physicist
argues
that
fundamental
physical
laws
are
found
not
in
the
world
of
atoms,
but
in
the
macroscopic
world
around
usIn
this
age
of
superstring
theories
and
Big
Bang
cosmology,
we're
used
to
thinking
of
the
unknown
as
impossibly
distant
from
our
everyday
lives.
But
in
A
Different
Universe,
Nobel
Laureate
Robert
Laughlin
argues
that
the
scientific
frontier
is
right
under
our
fingers.
Instead
of
looking
for
ultimate
theories,
Laughlin
considers
the
world
of
emergent
properties-meaning
the
properties,
such
as
the
hardness
and
shape
of
a
crystal,
that
result
from
the
organization
of
large
numbers
of
atoms.
Laughlin
shows
us
how
the
most
fundamental
laws
of
physics
are
in
fact
emergent.
A
Different
Universe
is
a
truly
mind-bending
book
that
shows
us
why
everything
we
think
about
fundamental
physical
laws
needs
to change.
