The mysterious universe is a popular science book by the British scientist, Sir James jeans.This book first published in 1930 by the Cambridge University press .This edition in simplied language.
Why universe is mysterious? Is it because we know so much about it or so little ?in this book Sir James jeans try to explain some knowledge about the universe .He describes and explains the details all about the universe. ,There are some passages ,and I will try to make a summary from it.
Here are some information that I got :
1. Science (astronomy and all about universe) have studied since four or five thousand years ago by Chinese astronomer,old Indian culture,the Babylonian,the ancient Egyptan,the Arabs and the Greek.
2. Old scientist (before sixteenth century) introduced the ideas that the sun was the centre of the solar system and that the earth and planets revolved round it.
3. Since discovered the Galileo's telescope, Kepler's theory,and Copernicus's theory astronomy has advanced in many directions.
4. All of universe part moved on it's orbits or periods,but some stars and comets moved by indefinitely.
5. There are scientist like Galileo, Kepler, Newton, Einstein, Rutherford, Michaelangelo,max plank, etc.
6. There are several branches to study the universe namely physics, maths, chemistry, astronomy,etc.
7. " The law of causation" updated to be "A certain cause A leads to a known effect B "
8. Modern physic describes conservation laws,they are :
A. The conservation of matter
B. The conservation of mass
C. The conservation of energy
9. "The law of gravitation is to speak exactly, nothing more than a mathematical expression the rate at which a moving body change it's speed of motion ".
10. If the universe is universe of thought this creation must have been an a thought.
11. The new knowledge makes us change our earlier ideas about mind and matter being separate, even opposing,things.

Finally, even though I didn't get it thoroughly I get some new knowledge.
Science is always ready to admit that the river of knowledge has too often turned back on itself.
