Does the universe embody beautiful ideas?Artists as well as scientists throughout human history have pondered this "beautiful question." With Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek as your guide, embark on a voyage of related discoveries, from Plato and Pythagoras up to the present. Wilczek's groundbreaking work in quantum physics was inspired by his intuition to look for a deeper order of beauty in nature. This is the deep logic of the universe--and it is no accident that it is also at the heart of what we find aesthetically pleasing and inspiring. Wilczek is hardly alone among great scientists in charting his course using beauty as his compass. As he reveals in A Beautiful Question, this has been the heart of scientific pursuit from Pythagoras and the ancient belief in the music of the spheres to Galileo, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and into the deep waters of twentieth-century physics. Wilczek brings us right to the edge of knowledge today, where the core insights of even the craziest quantum ideas apply principles we all understand. The equations for atoms and light are almost the same ones that govern musical instruments and sound; the subatomic particles that are responsible for most of our mass are determined by simple geometric symmetries. Gorgeously illustrated, A Beautiful Question is a mind-shifting book that braids the age-old quest for beauty and the age-old quest for truth into a thrilling synthesis. It is a dazzling and important work from one of our best thinkers, whose humor and infectious sense of wonder animate every page. Yes: The world is a work of art, and its deepest truths are ones we already feel, as if they were somehow written in our souls. Praise for A Beautiful Question
"An expertly curated tour across 2,500 years of philosophy and physics . . . Frank Wilczek] has accomplished a rare feat: Writing a book of profound humanity based on questions aimed directly at the eternal." --The Wall Street Journal
"Both a brilliant exploration of largely uncharted territories and a refreshingly idiosyncratic guide to developments in particle physics." --Nature
"Inspiring and remarkably accessible . . . Wilczek's language is lyrical and almost mystical. . . . Whatever the answer Nature will ultimately give us, we have the pleasure of engaging with an enlightened and humble mind." --The Chronicle of Higher Education

It’s a okay scent and spray.
Smell okay and lasts little while. The first one I received came busted so had to get a replacement but the second one was fine. Am not too much of a fan of the scent but gets the job done.

Nice scent- not overpowering
Scent: Apple Cider, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 3)
This is a nice scent... not overpowering, but nice... The scent doesn't hang in the air for a long time, but it would be good for people who can't handle heavy scents. This is the one I use the most and I keep getting more. It's a cozy scent, like an autumn candle and enhances the experience of cleaning my counters, floors, etc.
It's very sudsy... it takes a few rinses to get the suds out of the sponge and off of the counter, but it it dries quickly and doesn't leave it slippery afterwards. I use it for washing floors as well... I fill the bucket with very hot water and walk around spraying the floor directly, then mopping it up with the hot water- it works well, doesn't leave the floor slippery and smells nice for a number of hours afterwards.

Effective cleaning concentrate!
Scent: Basil, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I put this product to the test as soon as it was delivered by using it on my bathroom floor ans kitchen floor. We have two boys, ages 2 and 3, and we have a dog and 2 cats. We are in and out of our house constantly and our floors take a beating! This multi surface purpose cleaner concentrate was put to the perfect test! This cleaner worked really well. It cleaned the dirt and filth off my floors and left them feeling and looking clean. The basil smell is very pleasant. It's a light, fresh, clean smell. Not overpowering at all. A little goes a long way! It's still a gentle cleaner that packs big cleaning power! I was very impressed with how well and effortlessly it cleaned and the smell it left afterwards was a plus!

Hmmmm Rose scent is HEAVENLY!
Scent: Rose, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried soaps, air fresheners, cleaners, laundry scents from this brand, and from Fresh cut grass, Honeysuckle, Dandelion, Peony, and Rose scents, the last 3 are the absolute winners!! Rose is the latest one I’ve tried and Im in loooooove!! Makes cleaning actually pleasant! 😂
It’s very much like a Rose essential oil scent you get from Aura Cacia if you ever tried. But basically it’s fantastic, not cheap old rose imitation perfume smell. So soft and heavenly!
Not sure about its effectiveness in terms of killing germs, but it leaves no sticky or oily residue. I spray it on countertops, mop the floor with it. One day I was lying on the floor with my legs up and wondering what smelled so wonderful… Then I realized it was the Rose scent from the cleaner. I still use Chlorox products for bathroom sinks, tubs, toilets.
But Rose is absolutely delicious! Mr Meyers, please bring Rose and Peony as laundry scent boosters!
