Moving physics forward

Abstract

Weaving together her own story with reflections on the field, a physicist calls for progress In The Disordered Cosmos, physicist Chanda Prescod-Weinstein balances on a knife s edge, inspiring both awe at the elegant laws governing our Universe and fury at the field that has discovered them at great social cost. Readers will discover the fantastical realm of dark matter, quantum field theory, and curved spacetimes that modern physics has revealed, while also confronting uncomfortable truths about the social dynamics that have led to these discoveries.
