ISBN: 9780195130966 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. "Bucky Fuller thought big," Wired magazine recently noted, "Arthur C. Clarke thinks big, but Cliff Pickover outdoes them both." In his newest book, Cliff Pickover outdoes even himself, probing a mystery that has baffled mystics, philosophers, and scientists throughout history--What is the nature of time?
In Time: A Traveler's Guide, Pickover takes readers to the forefront of science as he illuminates the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe--time itself. Is time travel possible? Is time real? Does it flow in one direction only? Does it have a beginning and an end? What is eternity?... "Bucky Fuller thought big," Wired magazine recently noted, "Arthur C. Clarke thinks big, but Cliff Pickover outdoes them both." In his newest book, Cl...

The End of Time: The Next Revolution in Physics
ISBN: 9780195145922 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Richard Feynman once quipped that "Time is what happens when nothing else does." But Julian Barbour disagrees: if nothing happened, if nothing changed, then time would stop. For time is nothing but change. It is change that we perceive occurring all around us, not time. Put simply, time does not exist.
In this highly provocative volume, Barbour presents the basic evidence for a timeless universe, and shows why we still experience the world as intensely temporal. It is a book that strikes at the heart of modern physics. It casts doubt on Einstein's greatest contribution, the spacetime...

"Here's a gem of a book...all peppered with delightful notes from science fiction films, novels, and comics. I can't turn a page without finding a jewel." Clifford Stoll, University of California, Berkeley, author of The Cuckoo's Egg "The research that has gone into this book is impressive." Nature "For professional physicists much of the value lies in the extensive technical appendices and footnotes, and the exhaustive list of references. But if, like me, you are a child at heart, the real fun lies in the zany stories and wild speculations." Physics World Time Machines explores the idea of...

Einstein's Clocks, Poincare's Maps : Empires of Time
ISBN: 9780393326048 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Clocks and trains, telegraphs and colonial conquest: the challenges of the late nineteenth century were an indispensable real-world background to the enormous theoretical breakthrough of relativity. And two giants at the foundations of modern science were converging, step-by-step, on the answer: Albert Einstein, an young, obscure German physicist experimenting with measuring time using telegraph networks and with the coordination of clocks at train stations; and the renowned mathematician Henri Poincare, president of the French Bureau of Longitude, mapping time coordinates across continents....

The Idea of Time
ISBN: 9780471985457 / Angielski / Twarda / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. One of the most commonplace yet difficult scientific concepts to examine is time; what is time?, how does it flow?, why is it divided as it is?, is it linear or circular?, does time stop and when did it begin?, Are we governed by our biological clock or is the elastic time of theoretical physics the true concept of time? This volume raises the complex question of what do we mean when we speak about time?. Examining perspectives on time, how and why we measure time as we do, and time in relation to our lives, the author launches a wide-ranging enquiry into this elusive concept. Bringing in...

ISBN: 9780486409269 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Ever a source of philosophical conjecture and debate, the concept of time represents the beating heart of physics. This final work by the distinguished physicist Hans Reichenbach represents the culmination and integration of a lifetime's philosophical contributions and inquiries into the analysis of time. The result is an outstanding overview of such qualitative, or topological, attributes of time as order and direction. Ever a source of philosophical conjecture and debate, the concept of time represents the beating heart of physics. This final work by the distingui... |

The River of Time
ISBN: 9780521008488 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The nature of time has long fascinated physicists and the general public. As an irresistible flow into which all events are embedded, time cannot be slowed or accelerated, nor can it be undone or turned back. In The River of Time, Igor Novikov describes how the thinkers throughout history have defined time and how these discoveries demonstrate that humans may influence time's flow. He describes how time flows in specific regions of the Universe, how it stops in black holes and splashes over the brim in white holes, and how time may convert into space and vice versa. Exploring time's genesis...

Physical Origins of Time Asymmetry
ISBN: 9780521568371 / Angielski / Miękka / 536 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the world about us, the past is distinctly different from the future. More precisely, we say that the processes going on in the world about us are asymmetric in time, or display an arrow of time. Yet this manifest fact of our experience is particularly difficult to explain in terms of the fundamental laws of physics. Newton's laws, quantum mechanics, electro-magnetism, Einstein's theory of gravity, etc., make no distinction between past and future -- they are time-symmetric.
Reconciliation of these profoundly conflicting facts is the topic of this volume. It is an interdisciplinary... In the world about us, the past is distinctly different from the future. More precisely, we say that the processes going on in the world about us are ...

Time's Arrows Today : Recent Physical and Philosophical Work on the Direction of Time
ISBN: 9780521599450 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While it may seem indisputable that time flows in a linear fashion (from past to future), there are a number of philosophical and physical objections to this notion. In the quest to make sense of this conundrum, philosophers and physicists confront fascinating and irresistible questions such as whether effects can precede causes, and whether one can travel in time. In this book, eleven eminent scholars who stand at the boundary between physics and philosophy attempt to answer these questions. There are chapters by W. Unruh and H. Price on cosmology; A. Leggett, P. Stamp, and S. McCall on...

The Nature of Time
ISBN: 9780631165781 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Why does time appear to run in only one direction? We remember the past- but why not the future? We can influence the future- but could we, even theoretically, influence the past?
Generations of philosophers and theologians, physicists and mathematicians have puzzles and speculated about these and the many other questions that surround the concept of time. Recent scientific work is said to explain the directionality of time. But time still contains many mysteries- black holes and big bangs, asymmetries and relativities, arrows and loops - that will doubtless continue to occupy us...

About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution
ISBN: 9780684818221 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. An elegant, witty, and engaging exploration of the riddle of time, which examines the consequences of Einstein's theory of relativity and offers startling suggestions about what recent research may reveal.
The eternal questions of science and religion were profoundly recast by Einstein's theory of relativity and its implications that time can be warped by motion and gravitation, and that it cannot be meaningfully divided into past, present, and future. In About Time, Paul Davies discusses the big bang theory, chaos theory, and the recent discovery that the universe...
