Searching for the Beginning of Time and Other Short Stories from Science, History and Philosophy

by Sašo Dolenc

Albert Einstein once "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." This is the guiding spirit of the books in this series of Short stories from science, history and philosophy . The objective here is to explain science in a simple, attractive and fun form that is open to all.

The aim of the writings is to present key scientific events, ideas and personalities in the form of short stories that are easy and fun to read. Each story may be read separately, but at the same time they all band together to form a wide-ranging introduction to the history of science and areas of contemporary scientific research, as well as some of the recurring problems science has encountered in history and the philosophical dilemmas it raises today.
