Scanning and Sizing the Universe and Everything in It
Playing Scales
Philosophy often ignores the vast scale of the natural continuum for a human-centered view. This book puts our world in the context of all atomic matter, revealing the discrepancy between our ‘yardsticks’ and the reality of cosmic ‘light years’.

Science as a Quest for Truth
The Interpretation Lab
Challenging the myth of science vs. religion, this book argues that modern science is intertwined with the history of the university. It proposes a way to transcend the false alternatives of objectivistic certitude (“the Truth”) and relativistic resignation (“post-truth”).

The Genesis of the Second Scientific Revolution
Matching Diverse Mathematical Projections of Nature
Scientific revolutions are not born from "great geniuses," but from clashes of practices. This book reveals the common origin of the Quantum and Relativistic revolutions: a skirmish between mechanics, electrodynamics, and thermodynamics, first addressed by Planck and Einstein.
