    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    Listen to the Summary of Graham Farmelo's The Universe Speaks in Numbers in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "The Universe Speaks in Numbers" by Graham Farmelo explores the intricate relationship between mathematics and physics throughout history. The book traces the evolution of this relationship from the time of Isaac Newton, who formulated a comprehensive system of theoretical physics grounded in mathematical principles, to the modern era where advanced mathematics underpins the most profound theories in physics. Newton's "Principia" marked a turning point by unifying the laws of motion and universal gravitation, setting a precedent for the mathematical description of natural phenomena...
