The Quantum Revolution: A Historical Perspective
ISBN: 9780313334481 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Quantum mechanics is one of the great success stories of modern physics, making sense of the very small just as Einstein's theory of relativity made sense of the very large. But, for most students, the ideas that make quantum mechanics powerful can be confusing and counterintuitive. This volume in the Greenwood Guides to Great Ideas in Science series provides a history of quantum mechanics from the early breakthroughs of Planck and Einstein, at the beginning of the 20th century, to the present frontiers of quantum computing and quantum gravity. The approach is entirely non-technical, and... Quantum mechanics is one of the great success stories of modern physics, making sense of the very small just as Einstein's theory of relativity mad... |

ISBN: 9780805089370 / Angielski / Twarda / 32 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Middle Ages, people believed that insects were evil, born from mud in a process called spontaneous generation. Maria Merian was only a child, but she disagreed.
