Book Description for Known But Ignored: The Physicists Who Shaped Our Reality (Vol. I - Ancient Sparks) by Sahitya MukherjeeWhat if the greatest minds who built the foundation of modern science were forgotten-not by history, but by the world they helped awaken?Known But Ignored: The Physicists Who Shaped Our Reality (Volume I - Ancient Sparks) by Sahitya Mukherjee revives the untold human stories of the earliest thinkers whose questions ignited the light of physics and philosophy. From Thales of Miletus, who dared to measure the heavens without invoking gods, to Pythagoras, who heard divine harmony in numbers, and Democritus, who laughed his way to the discovery of atoms-this book traces the birth of scientific reasoning from myth to method.Written in an engaging, narrative style, Mukherjee blends historical authenticity with moral reflection, revealing how these ancient pioneers-mocked, exiled, or forgotten-shaped the laws that govern our modern understanding of the universe. Each chapter unfolds as both biography and parable, exploring not just what these thinkers discovered, but what they felt, feared, and believed.Through poetic storytelling, vivid reconstruction, and philosophical insight, the author-himself a Physics Honours student and founder of Living Literature Publication-bridges science and humanity, reason and wonder.This volume, Ancient Sparks - The First Thinkers of Physics, marks the beginning of a powerful series celebrating the unsung visionaries who transformed curiosity into knowledge and knowledge into civilization.A book for dreamers, students, and seekers-those who see beauty in logic, poetry in precision, and morality in motion.> 'Physics is not just about forces and formulas; it is about life itself-the invisible connection between matter, motion, and meaning.' - Sahitya Mukherjee Genre: Historical Science Narrative / Popular PhilosophyPublisher: Living Literature Publication (India, 2025)Author: Sahitya Mukherjee
