Once Upon a Universe: Not-so-Grimm tales of cosmology 2003rd Edition by Robert Gilmore (PDF)

Description

First Snow White encounters one of the Little People, then one of the Even Smaller People, and finally one of the Truly Infinitesimal People. And no matter how diligently she searches, the only dwarves she can find are collapsed stars! Clearly, she’s not at home in her well-known Brothers Grimm fairy tale, but instead in a strange new landscape that features quantum behavior, the wavelike properties of particles, and the Uncertainty Principle. She (and we) must have entered, in short, one of the worlds created by Robert Gilmore, physicist and fabulist.

⭐If you are new to cosmology and want to learn more without entirely hurting your head, try an allegory. Fun, descriptive, informative way to learn. I love Robert Gilmor’s educational tales. He has several out, and it is so worth adding to your collection, whether as a novice or as someone further in their education.

⭐i got hooked on it… now my mom and nephew are hooked reading it! it is an all ages if you like some science and math kinda book!

⭐just started it but good so far

⭐love this book!

⭐This is a must read book for all college students with a passion forthe study of Physics and scientific writings. The author has thegift of using famous children’s classic to convey the physics conceptsin a skilful and humourous way in helping readers to conceptualise thelaws of Physics.

⭐Once Upon a Universe, by Robert Gilmore, was a creative and interesting way to explain complex scientific ideas. This book is a mix of fairy tales that includes well-known characters with interesting names. Some of the tales include “Snow White and the particularly little people”, “Waking Beauty”, and “Cinderenda and the Death of Stars”. Each story begins with a well-known fairy tale and sends its protagonist on a journey to achieve knowledge. Then the story ends with the character learning something extravagant about the Universe or the things inside it. This book did include some ideas that are difficult to grasp and is not an easy read, so do not be fooled by its length. It may be a short book, but it took a long time to actually understand what was being taught. Overall, this was not my favorite book but it was interesting and worth the effort. Its creative ideas made it in a strange way fun to read. It will certainly help students trying to understand quantum physics and such, so if your looking for a book as a teacher then this is the book for you.

⭐Once Upon a Universe, although it uses a creative way to teach its readers high level science theories, was not a very interesting book. Its flawed adaptations of fairy tales made it a difficult book to enjoy and really get into. Such adaptations include “Snow White and the Particularly Little People”, which teaches the reader about particles and atoms. The less-than-captivating adaptations became nearly monotonous, as Gilmore occasionally went into excessive details concerning each subject. In conclusion, although it was a failed attempt at twisting fairy tales, it did teach me interesting scientific information. I would not recommend this book to any except those people who are excessively into science.

⭐Amazing find
