Is Einstein Still Right?: Black Holes, Gravitational Waves, and the Quest to Verify Einstein's Greatest Creation
ISBN: 9780198842125 / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Albert Einstein is often viewed as the icon of genius, and his theories are admired for their beauty and correctness. Yet the final judge of any theory is the rigorous test of experiment, not the fame of its inventor or the allure of its mathematics. For decades, general relativity has passed test after test with flying colors, including some remarkable new tests using the recently detected gravitational waves. Still, there are reasons for doubt. Einstein's theory of gravity, as beautiful as it is, seems to be in direct contradiction with another theory he helped create: quantum...

The Big Picture: The Universe in Five S.T.E.P.S.
ISBN: 9781681737058 / Twarda / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. A brief overview of astronomy and cosmology is presented in five different ways, through the lenses of space, time, evolution, process, and structure.Specific topics are chosen for their contribution to a "big picture" understanding of the interconnectedness of knowledge in astronomy and cosmology. Thus, many topics (stellar astronomy for example) are treated in multiple sections, but from different viewpoints-for example, sizes and distances of stars (space); when stars appeared in the history of the universe (time); stellar evolution (evolution); hydrostatic equilibrium and stellar spectra...

Chinese Version of Debate of Light and Dark: A 100 Year Bet with NASA
ISBN: 9781537631318 / Chiński / Miękka / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. "Debate of Light and Dark" Description This is a popular science book written in easy language, high school students can understand. The book is thoroughly against contemporary cosmology. I spent three years to obtain my PhD from U.C. Berkeley engineering college. I also published some research papers and books. This book was written after my decade thinking, and should deserve to be read. The writing of this book is full of joy and bitterness. The happy side is, anyone who has carefully read the manuscript of the book agreed with the book. For example, former president of the China Science...

Dark Cosmos: In Search of Our Universe's Missing Mass and Energy
ISBN: 9780061130335 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Everyone knows that there are things no one can see, for example, the air you're breathing or a black hole, to be more exotic. But not everyone knows that what we can see makes up only 5 percent of the Universe. The rest is totally invisible to us. The invisible stuff comes in two varieties--dark matter and dark energy. One holds the Universe together while the other tears it apart. What these forces really are has been a mystery for as long as anyone has suspected they were there, but the latest discoveries of experimental physics have brought us closer to that knowledge. Particle... Everyone knows that there are things no one can see, for example, the air you're breathing or a black hole, to be more exotic. But not everyone kno... |

Wrinkles in Time: Witness to the Birth of the Universe
ISBN: 9780061344442 / Angielski / Miękka / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Astrophysicist George Smoot spent decades pursuing the origin of the cosmos, "the holy grail of science," a relentless hunt that led him from the rain forests of Brazil to the frozen wastes of Antarctica. In his search he struggled against time, the elements, and the forces of ignorance and bureaucratic insanity. Finally, after years of research, Smoot and his dedicated team of Berkeley researchers succeeded in proving the unprovable--uncovering, inarguably and for all time, the secrets of the creation of the universe. Wrinkles in Time describes this startling discovery that would...

Probability 1
ISBN: 9780156010801 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For thousands of years, it was the visionaries and writers who argued that we cannot be alone-that there is intellegent life in the universe. Now, with the discoveries of the Hubble Telescope, data emerging from Mars, and knowledge about life at the extremes, scientists are taking up where they left off. Amir Aczel, author of Fermat's Last Theorem, pulls together everyting science has discovered, and mixes in proabability theory, to argure the case for the existence of intelligent life beyond this planet. Probability 1 is an extraordinary tour de force in which the author draws on cosmology,...

The Anthropic Cosmological Principle
ISBN: 9780192821478 / Angielski / Miękka / 738 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Ever since Copernicus, scientists have continually adjusted their view of human nature, moving it further and further from its ancient position at the center of Creation. But in recent years, a startling new concept has evolved that places it more firmly than ever in a special position. Known as the Anthropic Cosmological Principle, this collection of ideas holds that the existence of intelligent observers determines the fundamental structure of the Universe. In its most radical version, the Anthropic Principle asserts that "intelligent information-processing must come into existence in the...

The Emergence of Everything : How the World Became Complex
ISBN: 9780195173314 / Angielski / Miękka / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When the whole is greater than the sum of the parts--indeed, so great that the sum far transcends the parts and represents something utterly new and different--we call that phenomenon emergence. When the chemicals diffusing in the primordial waters came together to form the first living cell, that was emergence. When the activities of the neurons in the brain result in mind, that too is emergence.
In The Emergence of Everything, one of the leading scientists involved in the study of complexity, Harold J. Morowitz, takes us on a sweeping tour of the universe, a tour with 28 stops, each one...
