Obszerne omówinie efektów przewrotu korprnikanskiego. Przedstawienie ewolucji w nauce o raz jej wpływu na społeczeństwo. Jedynie czasem były odniesienia do teorii, których przeciętny człowiek nie będący fizykiem lub matematykiem nie zrozumie, mówię tu np. O odniesieniu do geometrii riemanna czy jakoś tak.

[Michal Paszkiewicz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very fascinating book that describes the development of the wider concept of relativity, starting with Copernicus, and ending with the discovery of the commonality of exoplanets.

A fairly simple read (in Polish), but comprehensively covering a wide variety of topics in a conversational tone.

Well worth a read to anyone who can read Polish and is interested in Philosophy or Science.
