1. Only The Longest Threads
"Only The Longest Threads" is a novel that creatively explores the evolution of major scientific theories through the eyes of fictional characters who experience these paradigm shifts firsthand. Each narrative thread is woven around pivotal moments in the history of physics, such as the formulation of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, general relativity, quantum mechanics, and string theory. The characters, ranging from a scribe during Newton's era to a modern-day graduate student, provide personal and often poetic insights into the intellectual and emotional upheavals brought about by groundbreaking discoveries. Through their interconnected stories, the book illustrates the deeply human endeavor of scientific inquiry and the relentless pursuit of understanding the universe.
