Farewell to Reality
ISBN: 9781605985749 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this stunning new volume, Jim Baggott argues that there is no observational or experimental evidence for many of the ideas of modern theoretical physics: super-symmetric particles, superstrings, the multiverse, the holographic principle, or the anthropic cosmological principle. These theories are not only untrue, it is not even science. It is fairy-tale physics: fantastical, bizarre and often outrageous, perhaps even confidence-trickery. This book provides a much-needed antidote. Informed, comprehensive, and balanced, it offers lay readers the latest ideas about the nature of physical...

The greatest challenge for physics is to combine its two most successful theories: general relativity and quantum mechanics.

Beyond Measure: Modern Physics, Philosophy, and the Meaning of Quantum Theory
ISBN: 9780198525363 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Quantum theory is one the most important and successful theories of modern physical science. It has been estimated that its principles form the basis for about 30 per cent of the world's manufacturing economy. This is all the more remarkable because quantum theory is a theory that nobody understands. The meaning of Quantum Theory introduces science students to the theory's fundamental conceptual and philosophical problems, and the basis of its non-understandability. It does this with the barest minimum of jargon and very little mathematics in the main text. Readers wishing to delve more...

Mass: The Quest to Understand Matter from Greek Atoms to Quantum Fields
ISBN: 9780198759713 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Everything around us is made of 'stuff', from planets, to books, to our own bodies. Whatever it is, we call it matter or material substance. It is solid; it has mass. But what is matter, exactly? We are taught in school that matter is not continuous, but discrete. As a few of the philosophers of ancient Greece once speculated, nearly two and a half thousand years ago, matter comes in 'lumps', and science has relentlessly peeled away successive layers of matter to reveal its ultimate constituents. Surely, we can't keep doing this indefinitely. We imagine that we should eventually run up...

Compulsions of Silkworms and Bees: Poems
ISBN: 9780807132562 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This new collection of poetry from veteran author, Julianna Baggott, is written as a manual on writing poetry. On the surface, it appears only to be a collection of poems about poetry. On a deeper level though, it turns craft on its ear to examine the larger, looming world. There are several different types of poems included. Some poems are written as question and answer dialogues. Some poems personify poetry itself as a character and address it as an unruly muse. Others are more pointedly instructive and presented as example poems. Still others are written to famous poets ranging from...

Instructions, Abject & Fuming
ISBN: 9780809335732 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this inventive collection, Julianna Baggott invites readers to reconsider basic assumptions about language, faith, motherhood, and love. With a sharply honed voice featuring parentheticals that often comment on and sometimes undercut what has come before, these poems whirl through contemporary America, engaging with topics as diverse and timely as Russian mail-order brides, Internet bullying, and school shootings. Alongside her cultural commentary, the speaker frankly confronts love and sex, as well as the beauty and brutality of having children. Still other poems reflect questions...
