Fitness of the Cosmos for Life: Biochemistry and Fine-Tuning
ISBN: 9780521871020 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 526 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This highly interdisciplinary 2007 book highlights many of the ways in which chemistry plays a crucial role in making life an evolutionary possibility in the universe. Cosmologists and particle physicists have often explored how the observed laws and constants of nature lie within a narrow range that allows complexity and life to evolve and adapt. Here, these anthropic considerations are diversified in a host of new ways to identify the most sensitive features of biochemistry and astrobiology. Celebrating the classic 1913 work of Lawrence J. Henderson, The Fitness of the Environment for Life,...

The Book Of Nothing
ISBN: 9780099288459 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the zeros of the mathematician to the void of the philosphers, from Shakespeare to the empty set, from the ether to the quantum vacuum, from being and nothingness to creatio ex nihilo, there is much ado about nothing at the heart of things. Discoveries in astronomy are shown to shed new light on the nature of the vacuum and its dramatic effect on the explanation of the Universe.

The Book of Nothing: Vacuums, Voids, and the Latest Ideas about the Origins of the Universe
ISBN: 9780375726095 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What conceptual blind spot kept the ancient Greeks (unlike the Indians and Maya) from developing a concept of zero? Why did St. Augustine equate nothingness with the Devil? What tortuous means did 17th-century scientists employ in their attempts to create a vacuum? And why do contemporary quantum physicists believe that the void is actually seething with subatomic activity? You ll find the answers in this dizzyingly erudite and elegantly explained book by the English cosmologist John D. Barrow.
Ranging through mathematics, theology, philosophy, literature, particle physics, and cosmology,... What conceptual blind spot kept the ancient Greeks (unlike the Indians and Maya) from developing a concept of zero? Why did St. Augustine equate nothi...

New Theories of Everything: The Quest for Ultimate Explanation
ISBN: 9780199548170 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Will we ever discover a single scientific theory that tells us everything that has happened, and everything that will happen, on every level in the Universe? The quest for the theory of everything - a single key that unlocks all the secrets of the Universe - is no longer a pipe-dream, but the focus of some of our most exciting research about the structure of the cosmos. But what might such a theory look like? What would it mean? And how close are we to getting there?
In New Theories of Everything, John D. Barrow describes the ideas and controversies surrounding the ultimate explanation.... Will we ever discover a single scientific theory that tells us everything that has happened, and everything that will happen, on every level in the Un...

The Infinite Book: A Short Guide to the Boundless, Timeless and Endless
ISBN: 9781400032242 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For a thousand years, infinity has proven to be a difficult and illuminating challenge for mathematicians and theologians. It certainly is the strangest idea that humans have ever thought. Where did it come from and what is it telling us about our Universe? Can there actually be infinities? Is matter infinitely divisible into ever-smaller pieces? But infinity is also the place where things happen that don't. All manner of strange paradoxes and fantasies characterize an infinite universe. If our Universe is infinite then an infinite number of exact copies of you are, at this very moment,...

Impossibility: The Limits of Science and the Science of Limits
ISBN: 9780195130829 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Impossibility, John D. Barrow--one of our most elegant and accomplished science writers--argues convincingly that there are limits to human discovery, that there are things that are ultimately unknowable, undoable, or unreachable. Barrow first examines the limits of the human mind: our brain evolved to meet the demands of our immediate environment, and much that lies outside this small circle may also lie outside our understanding. He investigates practical impossibilities, such as those imposed by complexity, uncomputability, or the finiteness of time, space, and resources. Is the...
