The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred
Categories: Science & Math
The Disordered Cosmos: A Journey into Dark Matter, Spacetime, and Dreams Deferred is by theoretical physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein. She explains particle physics and cosmology, from quarks and dark matter to the structure of spacetime, with enthusiasm for the beauty of the universe. She also writes about her experiences as a Black, queer woman in science and argues that physics is shaped by racism, sexism and colonialism, and that everyone has a right to know and love the night sky.
