1. 1. Pythagoras' Trousers

   God, Physics, and the Gender Wars

   

   A cultural history of physics that traces its deep ties to religious thought and institutions, showing how a quasi-priestly ethos shaped the field’s authority and masculine identity from ancient number mysticism through the rise of modern science. It examines how these traditions contributed to the exclusion of women and framed physicists as guardians of ultimate truth, especially in the eras of Newtonian mechanics and nuclear research. The narrative ultimately argues for reshaping scientific culture to be more inclusive and to separate metaphysical prestige from empirical practice.
