{"product_id":"9780571346394","title":"The Magicians","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the story of the magicians: the scientists who, using mathematics, predicted the existence of unknown planets, black holes, invisible force fields, ripples in the fabric of space-time, unsuspected subatomic particles, and even antimatter. The journey from prediction to proof transports us from seats of learning in Paris and Cambridge to the war-torn Russian front to bunkers beneath nuclear reactors, observatories in Berlin and California, and huge tunnels under the Swiss-French border. From electromagnetism to Einstein's gravitational waves to Wolfgang Pauli's elusive neutrino, acclaimed science writer Marcus Chown takes us on a breathtaking, mind-altering tour of the major breakthroughs of modern physics and highlights science's central mystery: its astonishing predictive power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Marcus+Chown\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eMarcus Chown\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marcus Chown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377375461539,"sku":"9780571346394","price":360.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9780571346394_599f06a9-5dcc-4f1d-9502-e7586fd308f0.jpg?v=1776475086","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9780571346394","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
