What does it feel like to understand something about the universe that no one has ever known before? To predict real things using only equations scrawled on a blackboard - and why is mathematics is such a perfect model of our physical reality?
This is the story of the scientists who, using mathematics, predicted the existence of unknown planets, black holes, invisible waves that course through the air, ripples in the fabric of space-time, subatomic particles and even antimatter - incredible predictions that, when tested by other scientists, turned out to be true. They are the magicians, conjuring testable descriptions of our reality where before there was only darkness.
From the discovery of Neptune to Einstein's troublesome prediction of gravitational waves to the huge multinational project of proving Higgs' boson, Marcus Chown takes us on a vivid, witty and illuminating tour of science's most significant breakthroughs, and highlights the central, mysterious magic of science: its astonishing predictive power.
