'A World with Zero Postulation' is a landmark book that tells the story of the development of our understanding of the universe in as simple terms as it can be said in. Embark on an incredible journey through time, as human understanding of science journeys from the ancient age, through the medieval age, to the age. It tells, in simple language, the very recent developments in the world of science in general and of physics in particular. 'It becomes increasingly difficult for us to predict emergent phenomena, as there is an increase in the number of properties that we have to consider for doing that. However, it should also be kept in mind than merely a large number of insignificant components, coming together and constituting a given system, is not enough to ensure that we have emergent properties. The noise that is produced may sometimes subdue the emergent properties too. '

An interesting non fiction book 'The World With Zero Postulation' takes us on an incredible ride into the understanding and developments of the universe. The author Subhajit Ganguly is a physicist and does a great job with using black and white diagrams, and easy to understand text about the cosmic microwave that sets off a whirlpool of expansive proportion.
He talks about Kepler and other Scientists and the investigation into the motion of the planet mars and other planets in out solar system. Also, a study of physicists and cosmology concerning its dynamics, evolution, and formation of planets. This is a deep theological book for educational and technical purposes of the universes scientific developments and research from scientists who teach us about it.
The big bang theory, gravitational waves, and many more secrets of unraveling our dynamic universe would be fitting to engage educational advances in the classroom, and for people whom have interests in Astrophysics.
I'm going to be completely honest here... by the time I finished the book, I was definitely in over my head. (Not surprising since I failed physics). BUT... what I could handle, I consumed readily. This really makes concepts that I had previously been unable to grasp much more palatable to the mind. Odd as it may be, I had a hard time putting this book down, so intriguing it was. You should probably have at least basic scientific conceptual knowledge to get all that you can out of it, but it's definitely worth the enlightenment even if you don't.
