| Book Subtitle | Jung, Pauli, And The Pursuit Of A Scientific Obsession |
| Book Description | The question of whether there is a number at the root of the universe, a primal number that everything in the world hinges on, has exercised many great minds of the twentieth century, among them the groundbreaking physicist Wolfgang Pauli and the famous psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Their obsession with the power of certain numbers - including 137, which describes the atom's fine-structure constant and has great Kabalistic significance - led them to develop an unlikely friendship and to embark on a joint mystical quest reaching deep into medieval alchemy, dream interpretation and the Chinese Book of Changes. "137" explores the profound intersection of modern science with the occult but above all it is the tale of an extraordinary, fruitful friendship between two of the greatest thinkers of our times. |
| About the Author | ARTHUR I. MILLER is fascinated by the nature of creative thinking and, in particular, in creativity in art on the one hand, and science on the other – similarities and differences. Born in the glory days of the Bronx he has degrees in physics from CCNY and MIT. An experienced broadcaster, lecturer and biographer, he writes engagingly about complex social and intellectual dramas, weaving the personal with the scientific to produce thoroughly-researched works that read like novels. Among his books are Colliding Worlds, 137, Empire of the Stars, and Einstein, Picasso. He lives in London with his wife, the author Lesley Downer. |
