Amen to the first book Ashwin suggested. It gives a fascinating history and introduction to how randomness became important and critical in our lives in a prose understandable by layman :-) If others who have read this book know any other similar books, please put their names here.
I also recommend his other book with Stephen Hawking that is quite a decent read and talks about the various theories prevalent in field of physics and cosmos and how the universe came into existence etc. @Thaths: plz2inform me as well if you are visiting BLR sometime :-) Regards, - B On Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 7:15 AM, Ashwin Kumar <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 5 December 2011 00:16, Thaths <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Sun, Dec 4, 2011 at 10:34 AM, Brij Blog <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Hello fellow members, >>> >>> I am a new member here and am excited to be part of this group.
